In order to measure risks, one must take into consideration different risk factors which are mostly common.
Time is the most counted risk measure since its well-known that time is money.
Volatility refers to the amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of changes in a security's value over a given time.
In the business world volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security.
Commonly, the higher the volatility is, the riskier the security.
A higher volatility means that a security's value can potentially be spread out over a larger range of values.
A lower volatility means that a security's value does not fluctuate dramatically, but changes in value at a steady pace over a period of time.
So yes we can consider volatility is a measure of risk

I believe volatility is a type of risk rather than a measure. The actual measure for volatility is VaR. The VaR approach determines the level of loss a security can be exposed too. You would see this type of measure for Equities.
