The NIST Cybersecurity Framework has significantly helped organizations communicate and structure the examination of important elements of enterprise cybersecurity. Underlying its efforts is the requirement to undertake a risk assessment effort. What are some of the broadly adopted frameworks used for improving risk assessments and establishing critical risks to be mitigated? This panel will highlight several of the frameworks and methodologies for analyzing and measuring information technology risks. Panelist will share their perspectives and experiences performing and leading risk management efforts; and offer some practical guidance for those involved in risk management.
