Question 1 of 30
A cybersecurity analyst is tasked with assessing the security posture of a company\'s network. They decide to utilize a vulnerability scanning tool to identify potential weaknesses. After running the scan, the tool reports several vulnerabilities categorized by severity levels: critical, high, medium, and low. The analyst needs to prioritize remediation efforts based on the potential impact of these vulnerabilities. If the critical vulnerabilities are estimated to have a 90% likelihood of exploitation and a potential impact score of 9 out of 10, while high vulnerabilities have a 70% likelihood and an impact score of 7, how should the analyst calculate the risk score for each category to determine which vulnerabilities to address first?
The risk score for critical vulnerabilities is 8.1, and for high vulnerabilities, it is 4.9.
The risk score for critical vulnerabilities is 9.0, and for high vulnerabilities, it is 7.0.
The risk score for critical vulnerabilities is 6.3, and for high vulnerabilities, it is 5.0.
The risk score for critical vulnerabilities is 7.2, and for high vulnerabilities, it is 6.0.
