What is the risk rating of an asset with an impact of 10, a threat rating of .12, and a vulnerability rating of .40?

To determine the risk rating of an asset based on its impact, threat, and vulnerability ratings, you typically multiply these three factors together. The formula used in this context would be:

Risk Rating = Impact × Threat × Vulnerability

In this case, you have an impact of 10, a threat rating of 0.12, and a vulnerability rating of 0.40.

Calculating the risk rating: Risk Rating = 10 × 0.12 × 0.40

Performing the calculations step-by-step:

1. First, multiply the threat and vulnerability ratings: 0.12 × 0.40 = 0.048

2. Then, multiply this result by the impact rating: 10 × 0.048 = 0.48

Thus, the correct risk rating based on your calculations would be 0.48, which aligns with one of the options. The answer you provided, which is 48, does not match this calculated value and is the result of a misunderstanding in the multiplication process or the interpretation of significant figures during the calculation. Therefore, the appropriate choice based on the formula and correct arithmetic is indeed 0.48.
