Q: 1
A company’s web server availability was breached by a DDoS attack and was offline for 3 hours because it was not deemed a critical asset in the incident response playbook. Leadership has requested a risk assessment of the asset. An analyst conducted the risk assessment using the threat sources, events, and vulnerabilities. Which additional element is needed to calculate the risk?

Option D. The risk model framework's needed to actually do the calculation. Methodology matters for leadership, so D fits better than B.
D , though I kinda see why some might pick B. Risk model framework gives you the actual structure for calculation here.
D imo, saw exactly similar question in my exam. D is the only one that lets you actually structure the risk calculation.
Nah, not B here-D is the missing piece. Event severity/likelihood is tempting but you need a framework to quantify risk.
Probably B here, since knowing how severe and likely an event is seems key for calculating risk. Asset value and threats are important but without severity/likelihood it’s hard to quantify. I think I’ve seen similar questions in other practice sets.
