I was asked to write a piece for ISACA about cyber risk in the Pandemic. I used some popular memes as a bouncing off point to talk about how to manage risk in these crazy times. You can read this here. I also had my article about why using record counts as your risk appetiteContinue reading “Pandemic Lessons and Record Count”

Emerging Risk
For this months @ISACA Tips column, I wrote about the conundrum of defining and assessing emerging risk. Its an interesting space to assess; technologies and trends so cutting edge that they sorta defy precision assessments, yet also so important as to require them. You can check it out here.
Presenting on Agent Based Risk Modeling at RSA Conference Next Week
RSA Conference is next week and I’m excited to share that I will be presenting on some work a a colleague and I have done on building an Agent-Based Model (ABM) using FAIR risk data. This should be an interesting discussion, so please join me next Wednesday at 2:50PM Pacific in Moscone West 2011. IContinue reading “Presenting on Agent Based Risk Modeling at RSA Conference Next Week”
Accepted at RSA 2019 – Virtual Pen Testing
I’m very pleased to announce that I’ve been accepted to speak again at next year’s RSA Conference. I’m going to be presenting on an Agent Based Model concept using FAIR risk results jointly with my colleague Joel Amick. Joel’s team and my team worked to develop a POC of this work and we can’t waitContinue reading “Accepted at RSA 2019 – Virtual Pen Testing”
ICYMI: Cyber Risk Sentinels
I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to share my thoughts on KRIs last week on The FAIR Institute’s website. I used the metaphor of Sentinel Species (think canaries in coal mines) to serve as an indicator of risk, but not of risk itself. That important distinction is one that I strongly feel isContinue reading “ICYMI: Cyber Risk Sentinels”
Cyber Risk Cassandras
I wrote this latest bit for the @ISACA column after reading Richard Clarke’s book and trying to rationalize how it applies to cyber risk. It’s overly easy to predict failures and impending doom at a macro level, its much harder to do it at the micro level, which is infinitely more interesting and useful. YouContinue reading “Cyber Risk Cassandras”
RedZone Podcast about Risk Forecasting
Bill Murphy‘s interview with me for his RedZone podcast was posted today. I had a great time talking with Bill about risk, FAIR, and forecasting. You can find the podcast here. It was a great discussion, and Bill was a very gracious host. His entire podcast series is worth subscribing to: he interviews some reallyContinue reading “RedZone Podcast about Risk Forecasting”
Assessing Cyber Risk Quality pt. 3
The final post of the interview/blog series I did with the FAIR Institute was posted last night.
Assessing Cyber Risk Quality pt. 1
The folks over at the FAIR Institute were nice enough to interview me recently and turn it into a series of blog posts. Part 1 is up right now and sets the stage for how to assess quality in your Cyber Risk assessments.
Cloudy with a Chance of Risk
Risk management is all about making forward-looking statements about things that may or may not come to pass. This is also known as forecasting. Read more about this in my latest @ISACA column.
