Description: Security risk refers to the potential for loss or damage that can occur when a threat exploits a vulnerability in a system. This concept is fundamental in the field of cybersecurity, as it allows for the identification and assessment of weaknesses that can be exploited by attackers. Threats can range from malware and viruses to phishing and ransomware attacks, while vulnerabilities can be software flaws, misconfigurations, or even human errors. Security risk management involves not only identifying these elements but also implementing preventive and corrective measures to mitigate the impact of potential incidents. Tools and solutions designed to reduce security risk provide active protection against threats, controlling access to system resources across various platforms. In an increasingly complex digital environment, understanding and managing security risk is essential to protect the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information.
