SOFTWARE RISK

What is Risk?

Risk is the probability that a hazard will turn into a disaster. Vulnerability and hazards are not dangerous, taken separately. But if they come together, they become a risk or, in other words, the probability that a disaster will happen.

Risk is defined as "The possibility of suffering harm or loss; danger." Even if we're not familiar with the formal definition, most of us have an innate sense of risk. We are aware of the potential dangers that permeate even simple daily activities, from getting injured when crossing the street to having a heart attack because our cholesterol level is too high. Although we prefer not to dwell on the myriad of hazards that surround us, these risks shape many of our behaviors. Experience (or a parent) has taught us to look both ways before stepping off the curb and most of us at least think twice before ordering a steak. Indeed, we manage personal risks every day.
