LEARN HOW YOUR RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM MAY BE BROKEN – AND HOW TO FIX IT

Do current risk assessment methods in cybersecurity work? Recent big security breaches have forced business and government to question their validity. Is there a way to fix them? How can risk even be assessed in cybersecurity?

In this webinar, Douglas Hubbard will reveal answers to these questions and review key concepts discussed in the landmark book How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk. This webinar is an introduction to how to fix these problems by using quantitative techniques that produce measurably improved outcomes. This session will completely change how you look at assessing risk in cybersecurity by explaining:

Z

Critical problems with the most popular risk assessment methods, like heat maps and risk matrices

Z

A simple but quantitative substitution for the common risk matrix

Z
How proper statistical analysis can be done even when data seems scarce
Z

How to think about measuring such challenging issues as reputation damage

The goal is that each participant will be informed about the best ways to tackle cybersecurity risk management today, and adjust to threats that are becoming increasingly sophisticated, difficult to detect, and even more difficult to manage.

how to measure anything in cybersecurity risk 

What if your single biggest cyber­security risk was the risk assess­ment method itself? Even if your approach to assessing this critical risk makes you feel more confident about your decisions, you may actually be making things worse.

How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk presents real solutions by skill­fully applying the quantitative language of risk analysis to information security. As with his previous How to Measure Anything books, measurement expert Douglas Hub­bard simplifies the complexity of quantifying uncertainty and sheds light on matters with little data or seemingly intangible goals— and works with co-author and cybersecurity influencer Richard Seiersen to dispel long-held beliefs about cybersecurity practices and provide authoritative guidance to solving problems by measuring risk.

Together, they debunk popular risk scores and risk matrices and replace them with scientifically proven, yet practical, quantitative methods.
