Understanding Acceptable Risk in IT Security

In IT, achieving 100% risk-free security is impossible. The real focus should be on reducing risks to a level that’s acceptable for your business—balancing protection with practical operations.

What is Acceptable Risk?

No system is entirely safe. Acceptable risk means identifying which risks are tolerable for your business and putting controls in place to reduce the rest. It’s about informed decision-making and smart prioritization.

Steps to Mitigate Risks

• Regular updates and security patches
• Firewalls and trusted antivirus software
• Employee awareness and training on cyber threats
