5. Ways to Assess Risk
Starts from a given event and studies
from the different consequences
that might evolve from it.
Scenario Risk
Examines the failure modes of each
component without focusing on the
causes or relationships between the
components/elements.

One purposes a system/hardware
failure and then traces the events
back to possible causes at the core
level

This form of analysis is the opposite of
