Risk posture refers to an organization's overall approach to managing cybersecurity risks. It encompasses the organization's attitude towards risk, the level of risk it is willing to tolerate, and the strategies and controls it employs to manage and mitigate those risks.
An organization's risk posture is shaped by a number of factors, including its business objectives, regulatory requirements, industry best practices, and the threat landscape it faces. It is typically informed by a formal risk management process that involves identifying and assessing risks, prioritizing them based on their potential impact and likelihood, and developing and implementing risk mitigation strategies.
