Use checklists, and compare with similar previous projects.
Prioritize risks, ranking each according to the severity of exposure.
Develop a top-10 or top-20 risk list for your project. Like most project managers, you can probably reuse this list on the next project!
Vigorously watch for surfacing risks by meeting with key stakeholders— especially with the marketing team and the customer.
As practicable, split larger risks into smaller, easily recognizable and readilymanageable risks.
Strongly encourage stakeholders to think proactively and communicate about risks throughout the entire project.
___ is the overall term used to describe the collective procedures, strategies, solutions and tools used to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity and accessibility of the organization’s information and digital resources.
IT security
A thorough ___ uses a mix of advanced technologies and human resources to prevent, detect, and remediate a variety of cyber threats and cyber attacks.

a thorough IT security procedure
IT security is an umbrella term that includes any ___ intended to protect the organization’s ___.
plan, measure or tool; digital assets
Elements of IT security include:
Cyber security
Endpoint security, or endpoint protection
Cloud security
Network security
Container security
IoT security
is the defending of advanced resources, including networks, systems, PCs and information, from cyber attacks.
Cyber security
is the most common way of safeguarding an organization’s endpoints - such as desktops, laptops and mobile devices— from malicious activity.
Endpoint security, or endpoint protection
is the collective term for the procedure and arrangements that safeguard the cloud infrastructure, and any service or application hosted within the cloud environment, from cyber threats.
Cloud security
refers to the devices, technologies, and processes that safeguard the network and basic infrastructure from cyber attacks and evil actions. It incorporates a blend of preventive and defensive measures designed to deny unauthorized access of resources and data.
Network security
is the continuous process of safeguarding containers — as well as the container pipeline, deployment infrastructure and supply — from cyber threats.
