Threat assessment is a systematic process of identifying, evaluating, and addressing potential threats. These threats can range from physical dangers, like active shooter situations, to cybersecurity breaches targeting an organization's digital assets. At its core, threat assessment aims to determine the credibility and seriousness of a potential threat and then to develop and implement strategies to mitigate or prevent harm. This field requires a keen analytical mind, attention to detail, and the ability to think critically under pressure.
