[ ... ]  How many ways are there for defining vulnerability and criticality, really? Traditionally, risk matrixes have a likelihood/impact approach, but not always. Yesterday, I was examining a criticality/vulnerability matrix. [ ... ]  Avoid, Reduce, Transfer and Retain or Accept are the classic four ways of dealing with risk in a risk matrix. However, there are two more: Exploit and Ignore. [ ... ]  I like mixing ideas, and my approach to logistics, or supply chain management is no exception. [ ... ] | | |
