Mega to Microscopic Risks: A Risk Taxonomy

Presented by

Steve Schlarman; RSA, eGRC Solution Manager

About this talk

Risks come in all shapes and sizes. Many times an organization can struggle with defining a common vernacular around risks. In the Information Technology world, this is especially relevant. Risks such as Disaster Recovery are lumped into the same conversations as buffer overflow attacks. This presentation builds upon a simple, yet powerful, risk model to define ‘stratums’ of risk to enable risk professionals to deal with the many layers of risks. The presentation then goes through several examples of how an organization can address these risks while maintaining a perspective on how the risks are connected and at what level of the organization they impact.
