Abstract

Risk management is concerned with the identification, measurement, control and minimization of impact of uncertain events upon organizations that depend upon automated operations. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">11</sup> It is an analytical process with a large number of variables, many of which are unique to the environment under consideration. For this reason, there has not yet been developed within general state-of-the-art a single methodology broadly applicable to all risk management environments. <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">1,10</sup>
