Utility staff wave off hobby drones hovering over a drinking-water reservoir as 'not our risk type' because no pipe has burst yet. How should the corporate risk manager classify this exposure?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Picture the reservoir as a bank vault with an open skylight—flying cameras overhead are still an exposure even if nothing is stolen yet. New physical and tech paths around critical assets count in risk typing. Waiting for a burst pipe misses the point.
Full Explanation
Corporate risk typing includes emerging physical and technology exposures near critical assets, not only losses that have already occurred. Drones over a reservoir create surveillance, contamination, and interference pathways that warrant classification and controls. Framing the issue as marketing-only or HR-only sidesteps the operational asset exposure the risk program must track.
