Abstract
In the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of digital technology, the importance of risk management in cybersecurity cannot be overstated. It acts as the bedrock for safeguarding information systems and assets from the threats looming in the cyber world. Risk management, in the context of cybersecurity, involves identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks to ensure that an organization's information assets are protected with adequate security. The key to effective risk management lies in understanding the technical aspects of cybersecurity and recognizing how cyber risks can impact an organization’s broader objectives and strategies.
