Risk Management Framework

Risk Management Framework(RMF) is at its heart a philosophy for software security. Following the RMF is by definition a full lifecycle activity, no matter whether you’re working on a little project or a huge corporate application strategy. The key to reasonable risk management is to identify and keep track of risks over time as a software project unfolds. As touchpoints are applied and risks are uncovered, for example, an RMF allows us to track them and display information about status. Risk management is a high-level approach to iterative risk management that is deeply integrated throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and unfolds over time. The basic idea is simple: identify, rank, track, and understand software security risk as it changes over time.
