countermeasures
Definition
Action or actions taken in response to an event or occurrence in order to negate the preliminary action. They may be a response to a positive event or a negative event, but are most often a defensive response. For example, after a damaging article has been released, a company may issue a press release as a countermeasure to negative publicity or to mitigate the decline in its stock price.
