Kathy is responsible for an asset valued at $25,000. It is determined that her asset has an exposure factor of 10 percent. What is the single loss expectancy (SLE)?
A.
$250,000
B.
$15,000
C.
$2,500
D.
$250
Explanation:
Single loss expectancy (SLE) is calculated by multiplying an assets value by its
exposure factor, which is the amount of potential loss that could be endured if the
identified threat were to occur. In this example,
Asset value x exposure factor = SLE
$25,000 x 10% = $2,500
