Explanation

Exposure Factor (EF) is defined as the percentage of an asset's total value that would be lost due to a specific threat or security incident. It is expressed as a value between 0% and 100%. Single Loss Expectancy (B) is the monetary loss per incident, calculated as Asset Value × EF. Annualized Loss Expectancy (C) is the expected annual monetary loss, calculated as SLE × ARO. Annualized Rate of Occurrence (D) is the estimated frequency (number of times) a threat occurs per year.
