Pure risks are definitely linked to serious consequences.

Derrick 1 year ago

I think it's more about unavoidable risks, not just negative ones.

Wait, can pure risks really be removed from a project?

Dusti 1 year ago

Totally agree, it's all about the downside!

A pure risk only has negative outcomes, like loss or injury.

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this before, and I think pure risks are those that can’t be mitigated. I’m leaning towards option C, but I’m not completely confident.

I’m a bit confused about the definitions. I thought pure risks were unavoidable, but I’m not sure if that means it’s option D. I need to double-check my notes on this.

I think pure risk is definitely something that only has negative consequences. I recall a practice question that mentioned loss of life, which seems to fit with option C.

I remember studying about pure risks, but I’m not entirely sure if it’s just about negative outcomes. I think it might be related to things like accidents or natural disasters.

Okay, let's see. I know the web server needs to be HTTP compliant, so that rules out option A. And it shouldn't be running Windows 2000 Pro, so D is out too.

I'm leaning towards default and system for this one. There was a question in our last practice that touched on certificate authorities in ESA.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it might be the "Pass-through scheme"? I remember it was about companies selling something that doesn't truly belong to them.

I think education might be the best choice here, since staff understand the need for change but are resistant to it. We need to convince them that the new system will benefit them.
