RISK ASSESSMENT

A risk assessment consists of making an inventory of the risks weighing on the perimeter under consideration (a company, a service, an application, etc.). Risks are defined as threats to assets, moderated by parameters such as probability of occurrence and impact. Together, these factors make it possible to prioritise risks and optimise defence resources, which are often limited.

As humour is inherently risky, we will refrain from making jokes about risk.
