Explanation

In a Risk Matrix, risk levels are determined by the intersection of the likelihood of an occurrence (probability) and the consequence of that occurrence (impact). When the probability of an event is very high and the impact is major, it typically falls into the ‘Extreme’ category. This is because the combination of a high likelihood and major impact represents a scenario where the risk is unacceptable and requires immediate attention and mitigation measures. detailed information on assessing risks using a Risk Matrix. The course emphasizes the importance of understanding the Risk Matrix for effective security operations center (SOC) analysis.
