You'll start by discovering the interdependence between assets, vulnerabilities, threats, and risks. You'll then investigate how to assess risk probability, measure the impact created by it, and the difference between risk appetite and risk tolerance. Next, you'll examine the components, benefits, and stages of a risk management process. You'll also identify different methods of treating risk and the importance of implementing controls as a part of a risk-based approach. Lastly, you'll recognize the standards for risk management and the advantages of managing and assessing security risk.
