Potential sources of risk in a systems analysis and design project

Effective risk management is crucial for the success of any project. Project managers must identify and prioritize potential risks, develop a risk management plan, communicate risks to stakeholders, implement risk response plans, and monitor and control risks throughout the project lifecycle. Additionally, project managers can use various project management tools, such as risk assessment matrices, Gantt charts, budget tracking tools, issue tracking tools, communication tools, and project management software, to help manage risks and keep the project on track. Involving the project team in risk management is also essential for effectively identifying potential risks, developing risk management strategies, and monitoring risks throughout the project lifecycle.

Threat actors are individuals or groups who pose a threat to computer systems, networks, or digital data, and can be classified into several categories. Script kiddies are a specific type of threat actor who lack technical skills and rely on pre-written scripts and tools to carry out attacks.
