Sally helps determine risk issues at her job. She has informed her boss that there are no safeguards put in place to protect against threats. What type of risk is this company under?
  1. Handled Risk
  2. Possible Risk
  3. Total Risk
  4. Residual Risk
Explanation
Answer: C - A company that has no safeguards in place to protect against threats has total risk issues. A company may choose to take on total risk if the cost benefits analysis results indicate this is the best course of action. This would be the case if the cost for protections outweighs the vulnerability to threats. Conceptual formula: threats x vulnerability x asset value = total risk.
