Explanation

Modern security philosophies require a dual approach: reinforcing threat-centric tactics (A) ensures companies maintain strong defenses against known and emerging attacks, while complementing them with trust-centric methods (E) - such as Zero Trust architecture - addresses the reality that threats can come from inside the perimeter, not just outside.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • B is counterproductive - decreasing internal reporting weakens security visibility and incident response.
  • C is impractical and misses the point; modernization is about strategy and tools, not simply hiring more people.
  • D is a trap - "rebuilding with new solutions" implies replacing everything, whereas the correct approach is complementing existing tactics, not discarding them wholesale.

Memory tip: Think "Reinforce + Complement" - you don't abandon what works (threat-centric), you add to it (trust-centric). The word "complement" in option E is your biggest clue; it signals evolution, not replacement, which aligns perfectly with how real security modernization works.
