Law in risk theory

genesis of risks from legal to information components (institutional approach)

Abstract

The article discusses the general  problems of risk theory in various  fields of activity (from legal to
informational). A comparative analysis  of the definitions of risk contained in  the rules of law of various branches of  law (international, economic, financial,  etc.) is given. The compliance with the  ISO 31000 standard is established,  which establishes possible risks in  various fields of human activity and  reveals their basic properties, including  in the field of public risks. The issues  of the occurrence and decomposition  of risk situations and risk formation  mechanisms are discussed. Differences  between risk assessment and risk  analysis have been identified. Attention  is paid to issues of information risk  assessment. Risk analysis is disclosed  as a process of identifying risks,  determining their magnitude and  identifying areas requiring protection.  The sources of risk are shown. The  uncertainties of information are divided  into “natural” ones, which are caused  by the incompleteness of information  due to the fact that due to objective  reasons, not all factors affecting the  expected result are controlled and  predicted. Therefore, they should  be considered as random. Also, the  uncertainties of information are divided  into “metrological”, which is due to  errors in determining (measuring) the  levels of variable factors, as well as  are divided into behavioral and target.
Risk assessment, used in technical  systems, is considered as a process of identifying  possible losses, based on an assessment  of the frequency of occurrence of events  and the amount of damage. identifying information resources of a  system and threats for these resources,
