Threat based risk management in the federal sector
Nathan Volk · 2010
The United States federal government has many regulations and laws today that require federal agencies to implement a risk management program. Despite these efforts, computer security intrusions and data loss continue to rise. The need for a adaptable and quantifiable risk management approach is needed. A threat based risk management approach is a potential solution. Threat based management is based upon a risk rating posed by individual threats which could carry over to the current federal system. The quantification of threats could also allow for more thorough audits of federal risk management programs.
