Risk Management

Track: Risk Management in Risky Times

Enterprises take on risks whenever they adapt to changing business conditions. In the course of identifying new markets, exploiting new business opportunities, and using new delivery models to attract and keep customers, enterprises inherently focus on risk – they want to take the right risks and control risks where the cost is too high.

As part of risk management, security must provide value to the enterprise. This is even more important when the economy falters and operational costs must be cut. Security programs provide controls that cannot be eliminated lest the business incur penalties or accept significantly greater risk. Sensitive customer information must be protected and kept private even more so when customers are looking for reasons to find a different enterprise with which to do business.

In this track, attendees will find insights into the development and use of information security programs:

  • Creating effective security programs
  • Security program models for efficient resource utilization
  • Key performance indicators for the security program
  • Non-optional security controls
  • How to position the security team for the economic rebound
  • How to deal with the risks around privacy requirements

Information and Access: Security, Identity, and the New Workforce The physical perimeter of the enterprise is gone and users need access to information from anywhere at any time from any device while avoiding the need for workers to carry unprotected copies of information everywhere. Controls must be put in place to allow this access while still managing the risk to the enterprise.
