The identification and assessment of risks is a very important component of managing growth and exposure. For just about every organization and company as it relates to IT security, Risk Management consists of identifying critical assets, recognizing threats, implementing remediation and mitigation, and accepting a level of tolerance. Praetorian Secure's Risk Management program promotes a continuous process of identifying risks, creating plans to address those risks, acting on those plans, and monitoring the results of the actions. The following are Praetorian Secure's reasons for instituting a solid Risk Management program:

• Most businesses need to take some risks to gain a competitive edge

• Creates a common language for Business and IT leaders and a knowledge base of all critical assets 

• Identifies and assesses the character and vulnerability of critical assets

• Presents possible consequences and appropriate strategies to deal with risks

• Promotes recurrent and continuous strategy on reducing risk exposure

The primary goal of any security program should be to protect the organization and not just organizational IT assets. If properly implemented, Praetorian Secure's program supports all business stakeholders who must deal with competing resource requirements, and provides the basis for investment in information security Risk Management.
