Topic: Cyber Risk Quantified: Why You Need It and How to Start?
Abstract: The need to manage cyber risk is more pressing than ever. According to the World Economic Forum’s The Global Risks Report 2021, cybersecurity failure ranks among the top ten risks for businesses in terms of likelihood. In terms of impact, cybersecurity failure (IT Infrastructure Failure) didn’t even make a list in 2017—but now they’re listed at No. 10. As cyber risk grows, so does the need to quantify it. If you can’t quantify risk, how can you calculate how much cyber insurance you need? Or prioritize investments in security controls based on where you see the most risk? Or calculate the return on those investments? The good news is you can quantify cyber risk.
The future of any organization fairly depends upon how well it predicts and responds to challenges – cybersecurity risks being among the top challenges. An organization should be able to quantify its risks and prepare itself accordingly to make strategic decisions.
For this reason, risk quantification is gaining attention from industry experts; and along with evaluating risk qualitatively, organizations are interested in quantifying them.
Key Takeaways:
- What is Risk Quantification and what is the difference between Qualitative Risks and Quantitative Risks?
- Why is it important for an organization
- Process /methodology to implement.
- Case Study / Recent industry example.
- Challenges
