Business Process Maps are Boring

I recently wrote this piece for ISACA on business process maps. Clearly, this is tongue in cheek – there are a lot of benefits to building a map of business processes and for a security professional, these maps can become the basis of lots of security and risk reporting. You can read my thoughts onContinue reading “Business Process Maps are Boring”

Learning From Other’s Mistakes

I wrote this piece after I read one person’s take on the relationship between near misses and audit findings. I wanted to reflect my thinking on the matter in a way that gave risk organizations a useful function to pursue after an incident. You can read about the role that your near misses (and other’s)Continue reading “Learning From Other’s Mistakes”

ICYMI: Digital Trust and Improving Risk Programs

For my final update this year, I want to discuss my last two pieces for the @ISACA newsletter and ISACA Now Blog.

Cyber Insurance Market Analysis

I wrote this piece as an analysis of what Marsh is experiencing in the marketplace. I wanted to have a cyber risk analyst’s take on the same data and to see where we could learn from their analysis and apply that in our practice. One edit, it looks like I made a typo. The lineContinue reading “Cyber Insurance Market Analysis”

Cyber Resilience & Board Communication Interview

My piece on Cyber Resilience was recently published by ISACA. Note that their style guide requires that everything with cyber in it be a compound word which makes it read weird. I had a good laugh with them about this. They also interviewed me for ISACA TV on communicating cyber risk to the board andContinue reading “Cyber Resilience & Board Communication Interview”

ISACA CRQ Whitepaper, a Webinar, and More CRQ

A whitepaper I recently wrote for ISACA was published. You can access it here. In this paper I wanted to write about how cyber risk quantification worked broadly, not just in a FAIR context. I hope it gives you a good primer to this topic. I’m also doing an ISACA webinar with my good friendContinue reading “ISACA CRQ Whitepaper, a Webinar, and More CRQ”
