When assessing a cloud provider's risk management program, which of the following is the primary purpose of reviewing the provider's risk appetite statement?

To calculate the provider's annual loss expectancy

To determine the provider's maximum acceptable level of risk exposure

To identify the provider's specific technical vulnerabilities

To verify the provider's compliance with GDPR

A company is evaluating two cloud providers. Provider A has a mature risk management program with extensive controls and a low risk appetite, but its services are more expensive. Provider B has a less mature program with a higher risk appetite, but its services are significantly cheaper. The company has a moderate risk appetite and is cost-sensitive. What is the most appropriate approach?

Perform a detailed risk assessment of both providers, weigh the risk against the cost, and decide based on the company's risk tolerance and budget.

Select Provider B and transfer all risk to the provider through the contract.

Select Provider B because it is cheaper and the company can accept the higher risk.

Select Provider A because its mature program ensures no risk will materialize.

A cloud security team is designing a risk management dashboard. They need to include metrics that provide early warning signals of increasing risk, such as the number of unpatched critical vulnerabilities and the number of failed access control attempts. Which type of metrics should they use?
