Start IT Risk Identification PracticeAn organization is developing its IT risk universe. Which of the following is the BEST source of information for identifying potential IT risks?
Explanation: The IT risk universe should encompass all potential IT risks. Threat intelligence feeds provide current information on emerging threats, helping to identify risks that may not be captured by historical data or internal assessments alone.
A company is adopting a DevSecOps approach and wants to conduct threat modeling early in the development lifecycle. Which threat modeling methodology is BEST suited for this environment due to its focus on agile and continuous integration?
Explanation: VAST is designed for DevSecOps as it integrates with agile development and provides visual, actionable threat models that can be continuously updated.
During a risk identification workshop, a risk owner proposes a scenario: 'A disgruntled employee with privileged access exfiltrates customer data to a competitor.' In the context of the ISACA risk scenario template, which element is missing if the scenario only includes the actor, threat type, event, and asset?
Explanation: A complete risk scenario includes actor, threat type, event, asset/resource, timing, detection, and response. The scenario lacks timing (when the event might occur) and detection/response elements.
An organization is categorizing IT risks. Which of the following risk categories would include the risk of regulatory fines due to non-compliance with data protection laws?
Explanation: Compliance risks involve violations of laws, regulations, or contractual obligations. Regulatory fines for data protection non-compliance fall under the compliance category.
A risk analyst is building a risk register. After identifying a list of risks, what is the NEXT step in the risk identification process according to ISACA best practices?
