Information security risks can and do result in far-reaching consequences. The IT manager devising the most effective strategy for managing risk faces real challenges:

How to describe the risks, their complex interactions, and the possible consequences
How to create a risk management plan that is cost-effective and practical
How to convince the senior management to fund that plan
How to make sure that plan is carried out, and stays effective

My company recently released our Pelican ERM system that challenged the validity of using spreadsheet risk registers, heat maps, and vague descriptions of risk management strategies. The IT community has been receptive, because Pelican:

Is quantitative and therefore more objective
Features bowtie risk diagrams that offer a compelling visualization of the risk management strategy
Allows IT risk to be compared side-by-side with risks in other areas that usually get all the attention

In this seminar I will explain how bowtie risk diagrams work, and how you can use them for analyzing, communicating and managing your IT risk – whether you use Pelican or not.
