Which of the following is a major benefit of applying risk levels?

 Explanation:

Applying risk levels helps prioritize efforts and allocate resources effectively, ensuring focus on risks that exceed acceptable thresholds.

This prevents over-allocation of resources to risks that have already been mitigated to an acceptable level.

 Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

A. Risk governance becomes easier: While governance improves, the primary benefit is resource optimization.

C. Risk budgets are more easily managed: Risk budgets are a byproduct of prioritization, not the primary benefit.

D. Risk appetite can increase: Understanding risk levels informs decisions but does not directly lead to increased risk appetite.

 EC-Council CISO Reference:The curriculum underscores the value of risk prioritization in optimizing resource allocation and focusing on critical risks.
