There is much ballyhoo on the importance of information security to an organization. There is significant focus on the threats posed by hackers, intruders, cyber-terrorists, foreign actors, viruses, Trojan horses, spyware.  etc. to the information held by a particular organization. Laws have been enacted to ensure that these actors if caught will face significant punishment under the law and organizations spend millions of dollars to ensure that their systems and infrastructure are hardened to protect themselves from this threat.

CISSP Note (Domain 1: Access Control) – Three Things to Consider

November 17, 2009 · Posted in Information Security · Comment 

Three things to consider

  • Threats – potential to cause harm
  • Vulnerabilities – weakness that can be exploited
  • Risk – potential for harm

Risk is the likelihood that something bad will happen that causes harm to an informational asset (or the loss of the asset). A vulnerability is a weakness that could be used to endanger or cause harm to an informational asset. A threat is anything (man made or act of nature) that has the potential to cause harm.

The likelihood that a threat will use a vulnerability to cause harm creates a risk. When a threat does use a vulnerability to inflict harm, it has an impact. In the context of information security, the impact is a loss of availability, integrity, and confidentiality, and possibly other losses (lost income, loss of life, loss of real property). It should be pointed out that it is not possible to identify all risks, nor is it possible to eliminate all risk. The remaining risk is called residual risk.
