A common formula used to calculate risk is: _____________ + Threats + Vulnerabilities = Risk. Which of the following represents the missing factor in this formula?
C. Asset
Explanation:
The common formula for calculating risk is:
Risk = Asset + Threats + Vulnerabilities
Asset refers to the valuable resources (data, systems, etc.) that need protection.
Threats are potential events that could harm the asset.
Vulnerabilities are weaknesses that could be exploited by threats.
Together, these components help define the overall risk to the asset.
Why the other answers are incorrect:
A. Exploits: Exploits are specific methods attackers use to take advantage of vulnerabilities but are not part of the basic risk calculation formula.
B. Security: Security is a broad concept and not a component of the risk formula.
D. Probability: Probability helps assess the likelihood of a risk occurring, but it is not one of the basic components in this risk calculation formula.
