Full Title
Much of life is simply Risk Management, It is essential to survival of any organization even though it is not the primary goal, it is the bedrock of continued existence.
Context

This usage is measured in risk that is associated with the access of assets that is provided over the internet. Sometimes the is now referred to as cyber risk management.
Problems
Before Risk can be managed, it must be possible to determine that linkelihood of an event and the apply costs to determine if the risk is acceptable. The challenge is the Risk Assessment itself when not all of the factors are known or even constant. Still some estimate is required before a decision can be made.
Cost
- The Risk is typically measured by the likelihood of a breach times the cost of the breach.
- An alternate measure is to look at similar enterprises and measure the cost of breaches in those simply situations.
- Banking has in many ways the easiest measures as there is a history of losses by a range of categories so a measure of risk is actually fairly easy to gage, at least for old techniques. Even for new techniques the historical data can help to create a risk metric. For example Ross Anderson and his grad students have created an extensive inventory of cybercrime costs.
Solutions
- It is important the for enterprise risk management the Board of Directors (or governance) are fully committed to the security of the enterprise.
- A good reference is for the World Economic Form Principles for Board Governance of Cyber Risk 2021-03-23.
