Exploring IT risks

We all experience some type of risk each and every day. You woke up this morning, good job! Made breakfast, wait – was the milk spoiled? Drank your coffee – hope it was not hot enough for you to burn yourself. Then you grabbed the keys and jumped in the car and made it just before 8 AM to clock in on time. How did you get there? Did you speed? Did someone cut you off? Instead of taking the car, I guess you could have ridden the bus or taken the train. Wait, you still could have gotten into an accident.

You see, you took a risk by even getting out of bed this morning. You could have drunk spoiled milk, sipped scorching hot coffee, or sped to get to work on time. These risks are all second nature and you probably don’t even think about them. They seem common; it’s almost like you’re numb to the fact that almost everything can be dangerous.

We can sometimes take the same stance when it comes to cyber risk. There are so many dangers...
