    Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks to minimize negative events and maximize opportunities. It aims to ensure uncertainty does not hinder business goals. Risks can come from various sources, including project failures, legal issues, disasters, and attacks. There are two types of events - risks which are negative and opportunities which are positive. Strategies to manage threats typically include avoiding risks, reducing their impact or probability, transferring risks to another party, or retaining consequences. However, some standards have been criticized for not measurably improving risk management despite increasing confidence in decisions.

    RISK MANAGEMENT

    Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks (defined in ISO
    31000 as the effect of uncertainty on objectives) followed by coordinated and economical application
    of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events[1] or
    to maximize the realization of opportunities. Risk managements objective is to
    assure uncertainty does not deflect the endeavor from the business goals.[2]
    Risks can come from various sources including uncertainty in financial markets, threats from project
    failures (at any phase in design, development, production, or sustainment life-cycles), legal liabilities,
    credit risk, accidents, natural causes and disasters, deliberate attack from an adversary, or events of
    uncertain or unpredictable root-cause. There are two types of events i.e. negative events can be
    classified as risks while positive events are classified as opportunities. Several risk
    management standards have been developed including the Project Management Institute,
    the National Institute of Standards and Technology, actuarial societies, and ISO
    standards.[3][4] Methods, definitions and goals vary widely according to whether the risk management
    method is in the context of project management, security, engineering, industrial processes, financial
    portfolios, actuarial assessments, or public health and safety.
    Strategies to manage threats (uncertainties with negative consequences) typically include avoiding
    the threat, reducing the negative effect or probability of the threat, transferring all or part of the threat
    to another party, and even retaining some or all of the potential or actual consequences of a
    particular threat, and the opposites for opportunities (uncertain future states with benefits).
    Certain aspects of many of the risk management standards have come under criticism for having no
    measurable improvement on risk; whereas the confidence in estimates and decisions seem to
    increase.[1]For example, it has been shown that one in six IT projects experience cost overruns of
    200% on average, and schedule overruns of 70%.[5]
