Risk aggregation: The process of combining multiple individual risks into a single overall risk profile. It is used in risk management to identify and evaluate the potential impact of multiple risks on an organization’s objectives and assets. Examples include aggregating the risks of a cyber-attack, data loss, and natural disaster to assess the overall risk to an organization.
