The last "A" in CFR-A is address. In other words, you've finished discovering information about attacks and now you'll defend against those attacks. The nature of that defense can change depending on whether it's done in direct response to an incident or is meant to be more preventative in nature. In any case, you are completing your CFR-A journey by ensuring the target systems are at least somewhat resilient to the exploits and post-exploit tasks you managed to conduct earlier. You won't address every problem, but you'll still be able to get to quite a few.
