IT-operational risk management consists of identifying, assessing, monitoring and mitigating the adverse risks of loss resulting from hardware and software system failures. We present a case study in IT-operational risk measurement in the context of a network of Private Branch eXchanges (PBXs). The approach relies on preprocessing and data mining tasks for the extraction of sequential patterns and their exploitation in the definition of a measure called expected risk.
