Michael Lines is working with Information Security Media Group to promote awareness of the need for cyber risk management. Lines: Damage, Espionage and Sabotage are first order threats, in that the threat actors discussed in the chapter “Know Your Enemy” are directly behind them. Infractions are a second order threat, because of the likelihood of harm occurring to the business as a consequence of the first order attacks. Damage is the reputational harm that can occur from an attack, such as theft or extortion, or it can be the direct intention of the attacker.”]
