Synopsis
Effectively managing information risk is a necessity and a competitive advantage for businesses determined to thrive in today's digital landscape. However, this task is becoming increasingly challenging due to the exponential proliferation of data, the evolving nature of threats, and the lack of comprehensive risk methodologies that transcend industry boundaries.
As upcoming information security and operational resilience regulations in the UK and the EU demand the implementation of robust risk management programmes, there remains a notable gap in practical guidance on how to implement and monitor these initiatives effectively.
This presentation aims to:
- Provide a high-level overview of relevant methodologies and their different approaches including IRAM2, CIS RAM, NIST SP 800-30/37, ISO 27005, FAIR and OCTAVE.
- Analyse relative strengths and weaknesses associated with each methodology.
- Share insights from practical examples.
