Residual Risk Tolerance Definition: Residual Risk Tolerance refers to the amount of risk an organization or individual is willing to accept after risk treatment measures have been implemented to address identified vulnerabilities and threats.
Residual Risk Tolerance is the level of risk that an organization is willing to accept after implementing risk mitigation measures. It represents the amount of risk that remains after security controls have been implemented, indicating the organization's willingness to tolerate certain levels of residual risk rather than investing further resources to reduce it. Residual Risk Tolerance helps organizations make informed decisions about how much risk is acceptable based on their risk appetite and overall cybersecurity strategy.
