Risk Protection

Risk protection is a strategy that employs redundancy in order to mitigate a risk. An example would be a commercial airliner that has a manual override switch for the autopilot functionality. Risk transfer is a strategy that shifts the risk to another person, group, or organization. An example would be discontinuing the online help features in a new software application to save development time and money. The risk is transferred to the help desk personnel and their ability to handle the phone calls from customers.
