ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
While conducting a software project's initial risk assessment, a security engineer has already cataloged threats and affected assets. She now estimates the probability of each threat exploiting a vulnerability and the magnitude of resulting business impact to rank the risks. Which core risk-assessment activity is she performing?
Estimating the likelihood that a threat will exploit a vulnerability and the potential impact is the essence of risk analysis. Risk identification comes first and focuses on listing threats, assets, and vulnerabilities. Risk evaluation follows analysis and compares the analyzed risk levels against organizational criteria to decide on treatment priorities or acceptance. Risk communication, while important, is not one of the three core activities (identify, analyze, evaluate) that constitute a formal risk assessment.
