Which of the following risks would BEST be assessed using quantitative risk assessment techniques?
A . Customer data stolen
B . An electrical power outage
C . A web site defaced by hackers
D . Loss of the software development team
Answer: B
Explanation:
The effect of the theft of customer data or web site defacement by hackers could lead to a permanent decline in customer confidence, which does not lend itself to measurement by quantitative techniques. Loss of a majority of the software development team could have similar unpredictable repercussions.
However, the loss of electrical power for a short duration is more easily measurable and can be quantified into monetary amounts that can be assessed with quantitative techniques.
