In cyber security risk is defined as the probability of exposure or loss resulting from a cyber attack or a breach in an organization’s security system. Depending on the location in the world different threats and risks can arise for different reasons. For example if we compare the country of Israel and the United States, it is clear to see that there are a totally different set of risks that could result in a incident which could breach or interrupt the systems of each country’s cyber security measures. In Israel the threat comes more from a political motive rather than a personal gain motive found here in the U.S. In Israel a group of hackers or attackers could breach a location that potentially has the data for the Israeli defense systems and take them offline if successful. This could then result in the country having no defenses in the case of a very possible attack. In the United States attacks are more likely to be financial in  nature. The US is the largest global economy in the world which means that there are trillions of dollars worth of information and accounts being stored by several different companies. If a hacker or attacker was able to gain access to the information of these companies they could enrich themselves very easily and make out like bandits. It is estimated that cyber security attacks and breaches cost about 11.5 billion annually. This suggests that attackers are purely in it for the money in most cases and not fueled  by an ideology of sorts. The United States also has a frame work and laws that require organizations in cyber security to obey  them in order to provide services. In other smaller and less developed countries there is likely to be a looser grip on the protocols used to manage cyber space and locations where organizations run their cyber security operations. This could result in more frequent and more successful cyber and physical attacks
