Which technique is best at assigning numeric ratings across multiple factors, such as potential harm, ease of recreation, challenge of exploitation, the number of users that might be impacted, and how easily a flaw might be uncovered?
A reference that catalogs known attacker tactics and techniques
A system that calculates an overall risk score by assigning numeric values for multiple dimensions of possible damage
A process that places threats into categories like spoofing or repudiation
A methodology that focuses on organizational assets, potential weaknesses, and risk tolerance
The correct option systematically scores faults across multiple metrics, leading to a more detailed risk evaluation. Other methods concentrate on defining how an attacker could compromise a target or outlining a broader risk management process, but do not focus on providing numeric values for each risk element independently.
