Answers

1
How does the FAIR methodology differ from traditional risk management models?
It only applies to cybersecurity risks
It uses a quantitative approach to assess the financial impact of risk
It doesn't consider financial impacts of risk
It focuses on qualitative assessments only
2
Which of the following is NOT a core component of FAIR methodology
Threat Event Frequency (TEF)
Primary Loss Magnitude (PLM)
Confidentiality Level
Vulnerability
3
What is the purpose of estimating Threat Event Frequency (TEF) in the FAIR model?
To understand how vulnerabilities are mitigated
To determine the financial impact of a threat
To calculate the indirect losses of an event
To assess the likelihood of a specific threat occurring
4
In FAIR, what does "Vulnerability" refer to?
The likelihood that a threat will be successful
The impact of secondary losses

10
Which of the following is the correct order in which the FAIR model components are assessed?
Primary Loss Magnitude → Threat Event Frequency → Vulnerability → SLM
SLM → Threat Event Frequency → Vulnerability → Primary Loss Magnitude
Vulnerability → Primary Loss Magnitude → Threat Event Frequency → SLM
Threat Event Frequency → Vulnerability → Primary Loss Magnitude → SLM
