Total risk: The combined potential impact of all identifiable and non-identifiable threats that could affect an organization’s operations or assets. It takes into account both internal and external threats, vulnerabilities, and the potential impacts that could arise if these risks are realized. Effective risk management strategies aim to understand, mitigate, and, where possible, eliminate these risks.
