Explanation:
which a threat is expected to occur. It is
calculated based upon the probability of the event occurring and the number of employees that
could make that event occur.
Answer option D is incorrect. The Exposure Factor (EF) represents the % of assets loss caused by a
threat. The EF is required to calculate the
Single Loss Expectancy (SLE).

Answer option C is incorrect. The Single Loss Expectancy (SLE) is the value in dollars that is assigned
to a single event.
SLE = Asset Value ($) X Exposure Factor (EF)
Answer option A is incorrect. Safeguard acts as a countermeasure for reducing the risk associated
