Abstract

The paper investigates the management of security risks within the postal system. The
focus is on analyzing security risks associated with key elements and processes in postal traffic,
considering the likelihood of occurrence and the consequences of potential adverse events. The
paper emphasizes that complete security and protection in a technical sense are neither
achievable nor economical; therefore, it proposes the application of methods for risk balancing
and control using the Trade-Off method. The use of the concept of risk-tolerant intensity in
operational and security assessments is suggested. The paper systematizes security risks in
terms of the potential for material or non-material damage due to the exploitation of system
weaknesses by threats under certain circumstances.
