This post explores the concept of 'exposure' as a factor in analyzing risk, building on the foundational concepts of risk, likelihood, and impact. Exposure refers to the duration of time you are exposed to a risk and can be useful in contexts like temporary shortcuts in software engineering. Highlighting exposure enables better risk assessment and decision-making, such as understanding the real-world implications of leaving vulnerabilities unpatched.
