There are 40 questions on there. You want to discuss ALL of them?

I'm not sure what all the red marks are supposed to mean, honestly. Are those the answers you chose or the answers you got wrong?

I've sent my boss a vacation request so I can take time and discuss each one. I'll let you know once approved.

I'll help with a few and that is it

#12 - What should be done with residual risk?
Risk cannot totally be eliminated so you have options
a) Accept it (management approval, of course)
b) Spend more money for more countermeasures to reduce it to an acceptable level

Think if it like seat belts. You add seat belts to the vehicle to reduce risks but there are still residual risks, such as head and bodily injury. So you would spend more money and adopt the use of air bags to help further reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

#18 - Which of the following would be the best mitigation strategy to limit the success of spoofed messages.
a) Think non-repudiation here. What provides non-repudiation?

#28 - Which of the following is not part of risk analysis?
a) Assets, threats and vulnerabilities are all part of risk analysis
b) countermeasures come all the way at the end after you have completed likelihood determination and impact
analysis. This is where controls or countermeasures are recommended. Might be confusing as risk analysis and
selecting controls all fall under the ultimate concept of risk management.

Thank you. As you said - this question are not so clear...

Morgi0noCativo

I chose the red ones. But some questions I am not sure what it is the most correct.

Morgi0noCativo

Be free to choose the most difficult, because I have answered 55% of the questions. I'm just not sure which ones are wrong and others I have doubts about which is the right one.

What are these practice questions for? I see some stuff that I have studied for before.

#13 Warehouse is 1mil, and that is the Asset Value (AV)
40% of the warehouse would be damaged if a fire were to occur and that would be the exposure factor (EF)
To get Single loss expectancy (SLE), the equation is AV * EF = 400k

Morgi0noCativo

Yes. I did that for exposure factor. What do you think of how this question was built?

lucky0977

I don't see anything wrong with any of the questions.

Another question on the test is:
Which of the following is out of place:

1) High, medium, low rankings
2) Subjective intuition
3) Objective opinions
4) Quantitative value

Wouldn't the correct answer be 4) Quantitative value since the other three are related to Qualitative items

No, you should clearly see that they are talking about Quantitative and Qualitative analysis. The answer is #3
Why? Because #1/2 are qualitative and 3/4 are quantitative. But there is something wrong with #3, can you spot it?
Being objective in a qualitative analysis means basing everything on facts being uninfluenced by personal feelings or interpretations.

Qualitative = subjective | Quantitative = objective

I'm also struggling with the Cybrary Risk Management questions. Were you able to discuss your questions with anyone? If so, did it help?

Let's review together each question. What do you think? I sent an email to Kelly (instructor) and She agreed to help me to review some of them.

I am waiting forthe answer from kelly (the teacher), meanwhile, my email for chat is [email protected]. I would suggest to pick the ones we have more difficult and start to askhere. Like - I am not sure about this question:





I did a research and I found this explanation. What do you think?
