risk management
Hazard mitigation practice
Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling threats to an organization or project.
These threats might be financial, legal, technological, or operational.
The goal is to minimize potential losses while accepting that some risk is unavoidable: Good risk management doesn't eliminate uncertainty—it prepares you for it.
The term appears across fields from finance to healthcare to software development.
