<p>Risk Control Strategies are the defensive measures utilized by IT and <a href="/facts/Information_security/horlrCln">InfoSec</a> communities to limit <a href="/facts/Vulnerabilities/CJ1Mx1uG">vulnerabilities</a> and manage <a href="/facts/Risk/tbBEDA0V">risks</a> to an acceptable level. There are a number of <a href="/facts/Strategies/vnQ3kcLw">strategies</a> that can be employed as one measure of defense or in a combination of multiple strategies together. A <a href="/facts/Risk_assessment/vlG9Uf0h">risk assessment</a> is an important tool that should be incorporated in the process of identifying and determining the threats and vulnerabilities that could potentially impact resources and assets to help manage risk. <a href="/facts/Risk_management/xGhxtxdp">Risk management</a> is also a component of a risk control strategy because Nelson et al. (2015) state that "risk management involves determining how much risk is acceptable for any process or operation, such as replacing equipment".
