risk assessment - Likelihood determination

Subject: risk assessment - Likelihood determination
Date: 15 Dec 2005 17:54:01 -0000
hello all,

Do any of you have any links (URLs) you can suggest for risk assessment 
methodologies or frameworks that provide specific guidance and examples on how 
to estimate the "likelihood of occurrence" of risks?

I am familiar with NIST SP 800-30, and I am aware of 800-30's definitions of 
high, medium, and low.  I am looking for more detailed guidance and examples, 
if any exist.

I am also aware of the MS Security Risk Mgmt guide, Chapter 4, which says a 
high probability risk is one expected to occur within one year.  Has anyone 
seen similar or different definitions from other sources?
