Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Risk threshold is the maximum amount of risk that an organization is willing to accept for a given activity or decision. It is also known as risk appetite or risk tolerance. Risk threshold helps an organization to prioritize and allocate resources for risk management. Risk indicator, risk level, and risk score are different ways of measuring or expressing the likelihood and impact of a risk, but they do not describe the maximum allowance of accepted risk.Reference:CompTIA Security+ Study Guide: Exam SY0-701, 9th Edition, page 34;Accepting Risk: Definition, How It Works, and Alternatives

I agree with Marge. Email security filters are a proactive measure to reduce the risk of users clicking on phishing links.

I think we should go with option B. Implementing email security filters can help prevent phishing emails from reaching our employees.
