RISKS AND LEVELS Sample Clauses

RISKS AND LEVELS. TECHNIQUES, MEASURES, AND CONTROLS There is clearly a link between risk and level – indeed, risk is also a value that can be measured on an ordinal scale. Safety and security levels arise from the identification of measures that are needed to reduce the risk to a tolerable level. Assurance levels arise from the degree of confidence that is required in the effectiveness of those measures, which is perhaps commensurate with the magnitude of the risk reduction that is being claimed. Standards often make a link between requirement levels and the methods used to achieve those levels, but this link requires some justification. For example, IEC 61508 specifies the methods that should be used in order to achieve a required level of safety integrity. However, there is no justification for the claim that the application of a particular method will achieve the required level. The standard is simply codifying what is believed to be necessary. This is less of an issue for assurance levels, where it is more defensible to make a link between assurance methods and confidence but similar issues of justification and generality apply. As noted above, safety-oriented standards like IEC 61508 tend to deal with the issue of risk reduction associated with levels through the specification of so-called techniques and measures (usually in the form of tables). Broadly speaking, security controls are techniques and measures that are used to address security requirements and reduce the risk of a security breach to an acceptable level. There is no consensus about the precise definition of security control, and different standards choose to emphasize different aspects of this broad characterisation. For example, the NIA glossary [37] uses the following definition of security controls: Security controls: The management, operational, and technical controls (i.e., safeguards or countermeasures) prescribed for an information system to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and its information. The NIST definition of a security control [38] is similar but differs in two significant ways:
