Option B sounds like the most logical choice to me. You need to know the current exposure of your assets before you can calculate the risk.

This is a tricky one. I'd say option D is the way to go. You need to evaluate the overall risk to the organization before you can start crunching the numbers.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Maybe option A? I mean, if you don't know what threats are out there, how can you assess the risk, right?

User 1: I think option A makes sense. You need to know the likelihood of attacks before calculating risk.

I think it's option C. You need to assign a value to each asset before you can calculate the risk to those assets.

But don't we need to determine the likelihood of specific threats first?

I disagree, we should calculate the risks to which assets are exposed first.
