Cybersecurity Principles and Risks

A nation-state used to cause financial harm to an organization is BEST classified as:

  • A a threat actor.
  • B an attack vector.
  • C a risk.
  • D a vulnerability.
Explanation

A threat actor is an individual, group, organization, or state entity that carries out or sponsors malicious activity. A nation-state seeking to cause financial damage is therefore a threat actor; it is not the attack method, an organizational weakness, or the potential for loss.
