Assessing Cyber Risk in Business is About More than Just Counting Vulnerabilities

Matt Alderman -VP of Strategy at Tenable Network Security will explain the core requirements needed for real risk evaluation and how to prioritise risk across the organisation. Alderman: Current methods for determining risk have a reverse effect by diluting the risk, creating a false sense of security, complacency, and/or failure to act. The three most common mistakes with risk calculations are they are too simple, too complex, or not appraised frequently enough. The most commonly used risk algorithm is: Risk = Threat x Vulnerability x Impact x Impact, but this equation often produces meaningless values.”]
