Description: Risk assessment is the process of identifying and analyzing potential risks to an organization. This process is fundamental to risk management, as it allows companies to anticipate and mitigate threats that could affect their operations, reputation, and regulatory compliance. Risk assessment involves gathering relevant data, identifying vulnerabilities, and evaluating the likelihood and impact of different types of risks, which can be financial, operational, technological, or security-related. Through this analysis, organizations can prioritize their resources and efforts based on the most significant risks, developing appropriate strategies for mitigation. Risk assessment is not a one-time event but a continuous process that must adapt to changes in the business and technological environment, thus ensuring a robust and proactive security posture.
