Risk Priority

Definitions

1. The relative order in which risks should be addressed based on business importance, exploitability, exposure, and available resources. Risk priority is what translates assessment into action when teams cannot fix everything at once.

   In plain English: How urgently a risk should be addressed compared with other risks.

   Example: "The issue's risk priority rose sharply after a public exploit appeared and internet-facing assets were confirmed vulnerable."
