CompTIA Security+ Question D-51

In order to secure additional budget, a security manager wants to quantify the financial impact of a one-time compromise. Which of the following is MOST important to the security manager?

A. Impact
B. SLE
C. ALE
D. ARO

Answer: B

Explanation:
SLE is a monetary value, and it represents how much you expect to lose at any one time: the single loss expectancy. SLE can be divided into two components: AV (asset value) and the EF (exposure factor). Thus a one-time compromise would resort under the SLE for the security manager.
