Develop a Deeper Understanding of Risk Intelligence from Henley-Putnam University

Risk is defined by the Society for Risk Analysis as “the potential for realization of unwanted, adverse consequences to human life, property, or the environment.” This definition of risk could be expanded to explicitly include related areas of risk such as financial risk, country or geopolitical risk, and even national security risk. All forms of risk management, in one shape or form, seek to mitigate aforementioned ‘costs’ to assets (whether that asset is a bank account, a nation-state, or a human life, for example) by collecting as much information as possible about potential threats and opportunities to minimize uncertainty. Risk intelligence is a concept that describes the process of collecting and disseminating information in a way that supports decisionmakers and enhances their ability to make intelligent decisions.

From a national security perspective, risk intelligence is largely concerned with developing proactive strategies and plans to foresee and mitigate emerging threats. The ability to think critically and act responsibly, safely, and effectively requires a deep understanding of the complexities of the global security environment and extensive knowledge of pressing strategic security issues like terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). In any scenario within the risk management context, a keen risk intelligence analyst must learn the proper skills necessary to correctly interpret and appropriately balance risk and opportunity.
