Abstract

Risk is present in all systems. It is a naturally occurring characteristic of any innovative venture and therefore should be anticipated before, during, and after a new system is developed. Common points of vulnerability are visible in financial systems, and organizations can apply a range of methods and techniques to identify risk, begin the process of risk treatment, and understand potential outcomes. Risk exists in all aspects of financial systems architecture, including deployed technologies, the enterprise process architecture, and personnel. Interconnectedness creates new vulnerabilities and establishes the potential for cascading impact across connected enterprises.
