More on Risk management
Description from Wikipedia:
thumb|320px|Example of [[risk management: NASA's illustration showing high impact risk areas for the International Space Station".]]
Risk Management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events.. Risks can come from uncertainty in financial markets, project failures, legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters as well as deliberate attacks from an adversary. Several risk management standards have been developed including the Project Management Institute, the National Institute of Science & Technology, actuarial societies, and ISO standards. Methods, definitions and goals vary widely according to whether the risk management method is in the context of project management, security, engineering, industrial processes, financial portfolios, actuarial assessments, or public health and safety.
For the most part, these methodologies consist of the following elements, performed, more or less, in the following order.
# identify, characterize, and assess threats
# assess the vulnerability of critical assets to specific threats
# determine the risk (i.e. the expected consequences of specific types of attacks on specific assets)
# identify ways to reduce those risks
# prioritize risk reduction measures based on a strategy
The strategies to manage risk include transferring the risk to another party, avoiding the risk, reducing the negative effect of the risk, and accepting some or all of the consequences of a particular risk. == Introduction ==
This section provides an introduction to the principles of risk management. The vocabulary of risk management is defined in ISO Guide 73, "Risk management. Vocabulary" .
