Table 3-1 on page 81 and the accompanying narrative shows a way to calculate quantified risk. Calculate the ALE for an organization that has 850 users, each provided with a computing device. Every year, the organization loses an average of ten devices. The countermeasure for this loss is to connect each of these computing devices to a tracking device. The tracking device costs $25 each. This countermeasure is expected to reduce the loss of devices from 10 to 3 a year. The expected savings from adoption of this countermeasure is $3500. What was the ALE prior to the adoption of this countermeasure? Before the countermeasure ALE=?? ARO-10 TABLE 3-1 Determining quantified risk. CALCULATION Single loss expectancy (SLE) Annualized rate of occurrence (ARO) Annualized loss expectancy (ALE) FORMULA AV x EF SLE ARO Number of incidents per year SLE x ARO ALE Table 3-1 on page 81 and the accompanying narrative shows a way to calculate quantified risk.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

The first step to finding the Annualized Loss Expectancy ALE before the countermeasure is to use the given information to calculate the Single Loss Ex... View the full answer
