Many companies spend millions of dollars implementing riskmitigation controls but are kept from getting their money’s worth by a disconnected, piecemeal approach. Successful riskmitigation requires that a central authority supervise controls following a coherent strategy. I wish it were true.
They include process and procedural robustness and integrity; people, skills, and training; insurance and self-insurance; the supply chain, outsourcing, and inherent risk; infrastructure, systems, and telecommunications; and physical and information security.

With respect to this process, the total landscape of risk that is assessed and mitigated can be divided into eight risk domains. Finally, everyone involved in assessing and mitigatingrisk at an organization needs to make sure their work is custom-tailored to that company’s industry and culture.

However, amidst these challenges, there is a beacon of hope: the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For almost ten years, NIST has been at the forefront of developing comprehensive cybersecurity risk management frameworks. Each function is a high-level goal aimed at managing and mitigating cybersecurity risk.
