The concept of risk management is a detailed process of identifying specific factors that could damage or disclose data.
Evaluating those factors involves producing countermeasure cost and implementing cost-effective solutions for mitigating or reducing risk.
Risk management is used as a way to formally develop and implement information security strategies. The main goal of information security strategies is to reduce risk and support the mission of the organization.
The server has fulfilled a GET request for the resource, and the response is a representation of the result of one or more instance-manipulations applied to the current instance. The actual current instance might not be available except by combining this response with other previous or future responses, as appropriate for the specific instance-manipulation(s). If…
The request has been fulfilled and has resulted in one or more new resources being created. The primary resource created by the request is identified by either a Location header field in the response or, if no Location field is received, by the effective request URI. The 201 response payload typically describes and links to…
The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists. A 404 status code does not indicate whether this lack of representation is temporary or permanent; the 410 Gone status code is preferred over 404 if the origin server knows, presumably through some configurable means,…
The user has sent too many requests in a given amount of time (“rate limiting”). The response representations SHOULD include details explaining the condition, and MAY include a Retry-After header indicating how long to wait before making a new request.
An essential part of risk management is identifying and examining threats to better assist senior management with creating or updating security policies within the organization. Below is a (live) list of possible threats to an organization. This can be used as an additional checklist to make sure virtually all areas contain safeguards where needed. Viruses…
The server cannot or will not process the request due to something that is perceived to be a client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).
