Study Notes

Risks in the Digital Age

The digital age poses new risks, including rapid obsolescence, where a product, process, or technology becomes out-of-date quickly.
Losing data is a significant risk, with companies facing threats from skilled cybercriminals who use AI to steal data.
Damage to reputation through social media is another risk, with tweets and Facebook posts having the potential to cause harm in a short time.
Anticipating the next business trend and planning accordingly is also a risk, including identifying the risks involved.

Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM)

RAM is a tool used for risk analysis at Saudi Aramco to assess the likelihood and consequence of each risk, determining its overall severity.
RAM is used to prioritize risks, but it does not indicate the level of risk that the company is willing to accept.
The company's corporate RAM emphasizes that no accident, injury, fatality, or environmental harm is ever acceptable.
RAM is used to support the prioritization of actions to eliminate or mitigate health, safety, and environmental risks, and deliver continuous risk reduction.
