Intro to CSEadvanced
Arrange the stages of addressing a newly identified cyber risk in the correct chronological sequence, from first to last.
Answer
Identify affected organizational assets and dependencies, Assess the risk level and potential operational impact, Select an appropriate risk treatment strategy, Implement protective and monitoring controls, Review and monitor the ongoing effectiveness of the controls
Explanation
### The order
1. **Identify relevant assets and organisational dependencies**: risk cannot be assessed without knowing what is exposed or relied upon.
2. **Assess the risk and its possible effect on services**: evaluation establishes why the issue matters.
3. **Choose an appropriate risk-management response**: the organisation decides how to treat the risk.
4. **Select supporting protective or monitoring initiatives**: actions translate the decision into work.
5. **Measure and review whether the chosen work is effective**: review shows whether outcomes are being achieved and whether plans need adjustment.
### The concept
This is a planning sequence rather than a claim that every operational security task follows one rigid workflow. The key logic is to understand the risk before selecting controls, then check whether the response works.
### Remember
Understand and assess first, act second, and review the result.
