Introduction
Assessment Of Information Security Risks
Essentially a business idea, risk assessment is all about making money. Prior to anything else, we need to consider how your firm produces money, how its assets and personnel affect its profitability, and what dangers could cause significant financial losses for the business.
The next step is to consider how we can improve your IT infrastructure to lessen the risks that could result in the biggest monetary losses for the company.
The operation and usage of information systems pose a number of risks to organizational processes and assets, which are identified, estimated, and addressed through risk assessments. Simple risk assessments just include three variables: the value of the assets at risk, the seriousness of the threat, and the susceptibility of the system to that threat. We can evaluate the financial loss that a company can suffer using these risk variables.

-
Analyze vulnerabilities in hardware, software, networks, and human processes.
-
Evaluate the likelihood and impact of each threat exploiting vulnerabilities.
