  • A punch in the face

    Sombody needs that right into their face. Sometime repeatedly.

    threat actor = someone who wants to punch you in the face
    threat = the punch being thrown
    vulnerability = your inability to defend against the punch
    risk = the likelihood of getting punched in the face
    acceptable risk = your willingness to be punched in the face

    risk management = your ability to see the punch coming
