Information Security, Risk Assessment, Cyber Risk ManagementAbstract
Different approaches can be used in cyber risk assessment research. It is harder to use and organize the risk assessment concepts due the lack of standardization and definition. With this argument the motivation for this study arises: what are the terms, methods and types of research used by works related to risk assessment in the international scientific literature? This article, based on a bibliometric methodology, explores in works that have the theme of risk assessment which approaches are used in terms of methods, types of research and terminology adopted. The objective was achieved through the content analysis in order to identify and quantify characteristics in the publications. In addition, it was observed an increase in the volume of publications that use qualitative/quantitative methods from 2013 onwards. For works that seek to improve cyber risk analysis methods, 79% of the works uses quantitative methods, which have greater complexity of use and application.
