1.) What is the equation ALE = SLE X ARO used for?

2.) What action should the management of Acme Widgets, Inc. take in the following situation? Justify your answer. Acme Widgets, Inc. sells widgets exclusively at the www.AcmeWidgets.com web store. Evil Widgets, LLC continues to engage an entity on the dark web to mount Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attacks against www.AcmeWidgets.com. Successful DDoS attacks continue to occurr at the rate of three times every four months. Acme management estimates that, on average, each DDos attack still costs $10,000 in lost sales. In addition, due to customer frustration with the DDos attacks, Acme management estimates that there are additional lost sales of $1,000 per month. The security firm charges $8,300 per month to implement the mitigation to eliminate DDoS attacks. (Assume that the figures above are accurate, and will continue to be accurate in the future.) What should Acme management do?
