About Lesson

Introduction to Risk Assessment

Risk assessment is a fundamental component of cybersecurity risk management. It is the process of identifying, analyzing, and evaluating risks to determine the likelihood of their occurrence and the potential impact on the organization. The goal of risk assessment is to prioritize risks, ensuring that the organization’s resources are allocated effectively to address the most critical threats and vulnerabilities.

Risk assessment allows organizations to understand the nature and scope of the risks they face, which helps in making informed decisions about risk treatment options, including mitigation, transfer, acceptance, or avoidance.
