Chapter 1 Risk Management

Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks (defined in ISO 31000 as the effect of uncertainty on objectives, whether positive or negative) followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities

Risks can come from uncertainty in financial markets, threats from project failures (at any phase in design, development, production, or sustainment life-cycles), legal liabilities, credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disaster as well as deliberate attack from an adversary, or events of uncertain or unpredictable root cause.

Evaluate the Risk with 2 factors i) The probability of something happening that

we don't want ii) the consequences if it does. For Example An airplane flight is a very good

example. The consequence of a airplane crash is usually the loss of most, if not all life on board - dreadful. Fortunately, when we fly, the probability of being in an airplane crash is very small (1 in 52.6 million according to the National transportation Safety Board). This very low probability makes the risk very acceptable
