Quantitative vs Qualitative risk assessments in an IT infrastructure
Quantitative risk assessment comes into play when you have the ability to map a specific dollar amount to a specific risk. For example, 1,000 records of confidential patient data at a medical center on a database. This database is accessed directly by a web server which resides in a semi-trusted or DMZ environment. A compromise of the method in which the web server communicates with the database could result in the exposure of all 1,000 records of patient data.
Qualitative risk assessment speaks about the qualities of the risk. Some additional factors and threat vectors into our example above. We now find out that the database that once held only 1,000 records is now going to hold a range of 10,000 records to 500,000 records.
