Risk Management Process
- Involves a systematic approach to managing uncertainty related to potential security threats and vulnerabilities
- Ensures risks are kept within acceptable limits to protect the organization's critical assets
- Process involves: risk identification, risk assessment, risk mitigation, risk monitoring, and risk review
Types of Security Measures
