Risk management is the ongoing process of identifying, evaluating, and treating risks to keep them within acceptable levels. It includes deciding whether to accept, avoid, transfer, or mitigate each risk. Cybersecurity risk management connects technical vulnerabilities to real business consequences.
Organizations cannot eliminate every risk, so they need people who can decide which risks matter most. Cybersecurity risk management is a career differentiator because it shows you think beyond technical fixes. CISOs and GRC analysts spend most of their time making these judgment calls.
