Many organizations do not manage risk in a holistic way. Rather, they maintain silos of risk management activity that often use completely different methodologies and tools to model and treat risk. Security Operations, Audit/Compliance and Business (think CFO and Board of Directors) are the silos most seen in the wild. This structure may have worked in the old world when being the guy that said “NO” was enough but that is not the case in the age of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), Cloud Computing and Regulatory Compliance. However, it does provide a unique opportunity for the savvy security professional to bring the silos together by normalizing the way they express, communicate and treat risk. By adopting common risk management metrics, innovative controls and trust management techniques CSO’s and other security practitioners can survive and prosper in the age of Cloud Computing and BYOD. Learn how to gain a holistic view of risk across your organization with the ultimate goal to determine your organization’s appetite for risk and to facilitate the cultural move from a “Zero Risk” mentality to a “Risk Resilient” mentality.
