| Explanation & Hint:
Risk management is the identification, evaluation, and prioritization of risks. Organizations manage risk in one of four ways: avoidance (elimination), mitigation (reduction), transfer, and accept. Risk mitigation involves implementing controls that allow the organization to continue to perform an activity while using mechanisms to reduce the risk from a particular threat. |
