One thing that makes it possible to be an optimist is if you have a contingency plan for when all hell breaks loose.

A Security Threat and Risk Assessment (STRA) involves the systematic process of identifying, analyzing, and evaluating security threats and risks to an information system or organization. The primary goal of an STRA is to provide insights that enable informed decision-making regarding security measures and risk management strategies. This includes documenting risk ratings, identifying vulnerabilities, assessing potential impacts, and outlining planned treatments or mitigation strategies to address the identified risks effectively. By conducting an STRA, organizations can enhance their overall security posture and ensure that resources are allocated appropriately to manage security risks.
