Abstract

Every system, when connected to a network, is susceptible to threat of being hacked. It is important to protect all systems of an organization in real-time in a cost-effective manner. This paper presents a well-designed and integrated database for risk management data using a dashboard interface in real-time risk that makes it easy for risk managers to reach a understanding the level of threats to be able to apply right controls to mitigate them. In this paper, a case study of a data center for a statistical management institute is presented that proposed calculation of total risk at the organization level by using the proposed risk database. A digital dashboard is also designed for presenting the risk level results so that decision makers can apply counter measures. The risk level on a dashboard viewer makes it easy for decision maker to understand the overall risk level at the statistics data center and assists in the creation of a tool to follow-up risk management since the time a threat hits till the time of its mitigation.
