8 Comments on “Which of the following risk concepts requires an organization to determine the number of failures per year?

  1. yessir says:

    This has to be incorrect. ALE does not tell you the number of failure per year alone. It tells you the TOTAL MONETARY LOSS per year. If you had ALE + SLE available, THEN you can figure out the ARO from that. However, ALE alone does NOT tell you failures per year.

    On the other hand, MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failures. This can easily be used to tell you number of failures per year.

    For example, a MTBF of 3 months means a failure every 3 months. From this you can easily find out that there will be, on average, 4 failures per year.

      wait… i see now… the question is “which of these will require you to determine the ARO.” And yes, ALE will require you to determine the ARO to figure out the ALE. Damn, the wording on these…
