ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 37

Source exam: ITPEC IP April 2020Topic: Security

ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 37 of 100

Asset A has the highest risk value. Multiplying asset value, threat, and vulnerability gives A = 5×2×3 = 30, B = 6×1×2 = 12, C = 2×2×5 = 20, and D = 1×5×3 = 15. Therefore A receives the highest priority.

Answer (a)

Why not others:
- B, C, and D all have products below 30

- a single high factor is insufficient when the specified method multiplies all three factors

Key rule: Apply the stated risk formula consistently to every asset, then prioritize the largest resulting risk value.
