Manage your Cloud Risks - don't go out on a LIMB!

For each Risk you identify you need to establish 4 critical things:

  1. Likelihood - the probability of it happening - typically high, medium or low
  2. Impact - the consequences of it happening - also high, medium or low
  3. Mitigation - what you are doing to ensure it does not happen
  4. Backup plan - what you will do if it does happen

You can easily remember these 4 using the simple acronym - LIMB!
