Where the article explains it
where ,,, are effective prevention, detection, containment, and recovery probabilities under a simplified independence assumption.
The passage around this formula
where ,,, are effective prevention, detection, containment, and recovery probabilities under a simplified independence assumption. The equation should not be used to manufacture precise risk numbers; controls are correlated and measurements sparse. It communicates why a single impressive guardrail cannot justify broad authority.
