Lost in Translation - What's Wrong With Risk Management

No ratings

Presented at Minneapolis CISO Executive Summit 2012 by

Miles Edmundson

How do you define high risk? At what point does this high risk change to critical or medium risk and what factors go into that change? Chances are very likely that every CISO will have at least slightly different answers to these questions. If information security leaders do not have a well-defined concept of risk, how can they expect business leaders to understand, appreciate, and plan IT initiatives appropriately? All too often, risk management models are ineffective because they are comprised of arbitrary inputs and designations assigned by experts based on their own personal confidence in assessing risk. In this Executive Boardroom, Miles Edmundson will facilitate a discussion on fundamental risk assessment topics that are pervasive across industries. In addition to common definitional questions, come prepared to discuss how you know your risk assessment and risk management programs are working. Due to the format of the Executive Boardroom session, there are a limited number of seats available. Seating priority will be given to CISOs. To reserve your seat, please contact Mitch Evans at 503-972-4440 , or mitch.evans@evanta.com. Sponsor participation is limited to Boardroom sponsor attendees only.
