In today’s digital age, cyber crime has become a major concern for individuals and organizations alike. With the increasing dependence on technology, the risk of cyber attacks is ever-present. To combat this threat, effective risk management practices are crucial. A recent review of literature on risk management in Jordan has shed light on the importance of identifying, analyzing, and controlling risks to prevent cyber crime.

Risk Analysis: The First Step

Risk analysis is a critical component of risk management. It involves identifying potential security risks and measuring their impact. According to experts, risk analysis can be assessed through various methods, including:

  • Probability
  • Positive and negative
  • Individual and collective
  • Organizational unit
  • Inherent
  • Residual software tools

The literature review suggests that risk analysis has a significant influence on preventing cyber crime (P2). This is because it enables organizations to identify potential vulnerabilities and take proactive measures to mitigate them.

Risk Control: The Next Step

Once risks have been identified, the next step is to control them. Risk control involves implementing measures to reduce the likelihood or impact of a risk. A study found that adequate internal controls, including:

  • Disaster emergency plans
  • Internal audit reviews
  • Backups

can significantly reduce mismanagement and attract confidence in the market.

The literature review also supports the proposition that risk control has a significant influence on preventing cyber crime (P3). Continuous monitoring of control mechanisms is essential to ensure that they remain effective in reducing risks.

Conclusion

In conclusion, this review highlights the importance of effective risk management practices in Jordan. By identifying, analyzing, and controlling risks, organizations can significantly reduce their vulnerability to cyber crime. The conceptual framework proposed in this study provides a roadmap for future research on risk management in the context of cyber crime prevention.
