Prepare before the event
The name is the method.
Praeven derives from the Latin praevenire, meaning to come before, anticipate, or forestall. The name reflects the operating principle: identify what an adversary can observe, influence, or exploit, before exposure becomes impact.
prae·ven verb | \ ˈprā-vən \ | IPA /ˈpreɪvɛn/

Operating principles
Precise scope, practitioner judgment, usable evidence, clear boundaries.
Adversary informed
Scenarios and assessments reflect observed tactics, authorized testing methods, and realistic decision points.
Evidence focused
Reports, training records, attack narratives, and retest results are structured so technical teams and business stakeholders act from the same facts.
Learning without blame
Human error is treated as a signal for stronger systems, clearer reporting paths, and better practice, not as a substitute for technical controls.
Clear boundaries
Praeven distinguishes current services, engineering prototypes, planned capabilities, customer responsibilities, and reviewer judgment.
