Risk mitigation is accomplished by reducing the threat level by eliminating, removing or intercepting the adversary before they attack, blocking opportunities through enhanced security, or reducing the results if an attack should occur. Risk mitigation is a strategy to prepare for and lessen the effects of threats faced by a data center. Comparable to risk reduction, risk mitigation takes steps to scale back the negative effects of threats and disasters on business continuity (BC). Threats which may put a business in danger include cyberattacks, weather events and other causes of physical or virtual damage to a knowledge center. Risk Management serves an audience of practitioners, regulators, academics and others who are interested in quantitative perspectives on contemporary issues, and practices in the field, as well as both theoretical and practical advances.   Rather than getting to avoid a risk, mitigation deals with the aftermath of a disaster and therefore the steps which will be taken before the event occurring to scale back adverse, and potentially long-term, effects. Open access journals are highly specialized, although a number of the oldest journals publish articles, reviews, editorials, short communications, letters, and scientific papers across a good range of scientific fields. Open access Journals contain articles that peer reviewed, in an effort to make sure that articles meet the journal's standards of quality, and scientific validity. Each such journal article becomes a part of the permanent scientific record.
