Knowledge of the FRED system. This information is readily available, and just requires an attacker to “join the dots”If it occurs, what will it cost?
Exposure of confidential/sensitive corporate information.
Impact to our reputation, and customer confidence.What will it cost to eliminate the risk?
30 hours of effort to configure FRED into a secure mode.What will it cost to reduce the risk to an acceptable level?
as above
