Inherent Risk vs. Residual Risk (Quick Explanation)

Inherent risks include all risks that are present without any security controls. Residual risks are the risks that remain after security controls are implemented. Residual risks are inevitable. Even with an abundance of security controls, vestiges of residual risks will remain that could expose your sensitive data to cyber attacks.This is because the proliferation of digital transformation expands the digital landscape, creating more attack vectors.

What is Residual Risk? Why it Matters So Much in 2021

Residual risk is the threat or vulnerability that remains after all risk treatment and remediation efforts have been implemented. Even with an astute vulnerability sanitation program, there will always be vestiges of risks that remain, these are residual risks.

What is Threat Modelling? 10 Threat Identity Methods Explained

Threat modelling is a process for identifying potential threats to an organization's network security and all the vulnerabilities that could be exploited by those threats. Most security protocols are reactive - threats are isolated and patched after they've been injected into a system. Threat modelling, on the other hand, is a proactive approach to cybersecurity, whereby potential threats are identified and anticipated.
