Cybersecurity Risk - Defined, Described, Detailed...
So, let's get started with my first Risk Management Radar Blog post...
Over the years there has been many definitions of Cybersecurity and the associated Risks that come with not being fully Cybersecurity Aware for small to medium sized businesses !... Here are a couple of examples:
From a GSA.GOV RFQ:
“Cybersecurity Risk Management” means technologies, practices, and policies that address threats or vulnerabilities in networks, computers, programs and data, flowing from or enabled by connection to digital infrastructure, information systems, or industrial control systems, including but not limited to, information security, supply chain assurance, information assurance, and hardware and software assurance.
From a TechTarget "Essential Guide" Description:
"Risk management" is the process of identifying, assessing and controlling threats to an organization's capital and earnings. These threats, or risks, could stem from a wide variety of sources, including financial uncertainty, legal liabilities, strategic management errors, accidents and natural disasters. IT security threats and data-related risks, and the risk management strategies to alleviate them, have become a top priority for digitized companies. As a result, a risk management plan increasingly includes companies' processes for identifying and controlling threats to its digital assets, including proprietary corporate data, a customer's personally identifiable information and intellectual property.
