So you’ve identified a risk — now what do you do about it? Here’s a simple framework to help frame discussions about risk mitigation. It’s intentionally very simple, a basic starting point. I’ll present a more complex framework later in this series, but I want to lay more of a foundation before I get there, so we’ll start here.

Mitigation involves taking actions to reduce risk, focusing on lowering either the likelihood or impact of the risk. The post emphasizes the importance of considering both axes when brainstorming mitigation options and introduces the concept of Defense in Depth, which involves applying multiple mitigations to the same risk to reduce it to acceptable levels.

Defense in depth means applying multiple mitigations along multiple axes
