Chapter 5, Problem 4E

Program Plan Intro

Single loss expectancy:

Single loss expectancy is the value connected with loss acquired from an attack.  It is calculated using the value of asset and exposure factor occurred from a particular attack.

Single loss expectancy is calculated by using the following formula:

$\text{SLE= EF × AV}$

Here, the term $\text{EF}$ refers “Exposure factor” and $\text{AV}$ refers “asset value”.

Frequency of occurrence:

Frequency of occurrence is how often the attack takes place.
