Cyber security risks, while not visible to the human eye, are abounding in data networks and on information systems. These risks are not easily understood by the non-practioner because of the maturity of the general Cyber Security practice as a whole. Cyber security risks are identified by understanding how likely it is that threats will exploit vulnerabilities to create impacts. As a result, the Cyber Security risks are quantified by understanding the threats, vulnerabilities, and impacts that would have a visible consequence to the organization. Cyber Security threats are actors (computer or human) that serve to exploit vulnerabilities to create undesired impacts.
