Section: INFORMATION SECURITY GOVERNANCE
Explanation:
Information security projects should be assessed on the basis of the positive impact that they will have on the organization. Time, cost and resource issues should be subordinate to this objective.

Explanation
Calculating the value of the information or asset is the first step in a risk analysis process to determine the impact to the organization, which is the ultimate goal. Determining how much productivity could be lost and how much it would cost is a step in the estimation of potential risk process. Knowing the impact if confidential information is disclosed is also a step in the estimation of potential risk. Measuring the probability of occurrence for each threat identified is a step in performing a threat analysis and therefore a partial answer.

Section: INFORMATION SECURITY PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

Explanation
Installing an intrusion detection system (IDS) will allow the information security manager to better pinpoint the source of the attack so that countermeasures may then be taken. An IDS is not limited to detection of attacks originating externally. Proper placement of agents on the internal network can be effectively used to detect an internally based attack. Requiring the use of strong passwords will not be sufficiently effective against a network-based attack. Assigning IP addresses would not be effective since these can be spoofed.
Implementing centralized logging software will not necessarily provide information on the source of the attack.
