Study Notes
- Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) breaks out failure scenarios into internal and external conditions.
- FTA is used in banks to analyze a chain of failures leading to major losses.
- Joint probability of occurrence is the multiplicative of separate probabilities.
- Conditional probabilities need to be applied to get a more realistic sense of probability.
- Causal analysis estimates risk factor probabilities from third-party and empirical information.
- Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) breaks risks into individual factors.
- FAIR considers determining, measuring, and computationally combining risk factors.
- Scenarios have attributes of asset at risk, threat, threat type, and losses occurring.
- Estimates must be made for the frequency and likely loss amounts of scenarios.
- Monte Carlo simulations output the distribution of simulated losses.
