Study Notes
Risk Assessment
- Quantitative risk assessment does not offer subjective opinions as an advantage.
- The formula for Single Loss Expectancy (SLE) is SLE = AV × EF.
- Qualitative risk assessment has speed as an advantage, but not the use of numeric dollar values.
Risk Management
- The formula for Annualized Loss Expectancy (ALE) is ALE = ARO × SLE.
- Risk transfer involves incurring an ongoing continual cost from a third party.
- Risk mitigation is the approach that involves implementing a firewall.
Problem-Solving and Planning
- After determining the exposure factor, the next step in the quantitative risk assessment process is to determine the SLE.
- Brainstorming is a step in the problem-solving process that involves gathering facts.
- Gap analysis helps describe the difference between the current state and the desired state.
Security and Vulnerabilities
- A vulnerability is a weakness in hardware, software, or components that may be exploited.
- A threat is any agent, condition, or circumstance that could potentially cause harm to or compromise an asset.
Security Testing and Auditing
- Nikto, Nessus, Retina, LanGuard, and SAINT are useful for vulnerability scanning.
- A cold site is the cheapest type of disaster recovery site to maintain.
Access Control and Disaster Recovery
- The principle of least privilege states that users should have only the access needed.
- A walk-through test is a type of disaster recovery testing that involves manually performing the recovery steps without causing any real disruption.
- Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) is the length of time between an interruption and the recovery from that interruption.
Other Concepts
- Security awareness training helps employees know how to respond to potential security risks and incidents.
- A Unified Availability (UA) measures the agreed-on amount of uptime.
