Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE) Workshop
Cost: $2,995.00 (CDN)
Description: Information systems are essential to most organizations today. However many organizations form protection strategies by focusing solely on infrastructure weaknesses; they fail to establish the effect on their most important information assets. This leads to a gap between the organization’s operational and information technology (IT) requirements, placing the assets at risk. Current approaches to information security risk management tend to be incomplete. They fail to include all components of risk (assets, threats, and vulnerabilities). In addition, many organizations outsource information security risk evaluations. The resulting evaluation may not be adequate or address their perspectives. Self-directed assessments provide the context to understand the risks and to make informed decisions and tradeoffs.
The first step in managing information security risk is to understand what your risks are. Once you have identified your risks, you can build mitigation plans to address those risks. The Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability EvaluationSM (OCTAVESM) enables you to do this.
This three-day workshop is designed to help individuals and analysis teams lead and perform information security risk evaluations using the Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability EvaluationSM (OCTAVE ®) Approach. Participants study the method either using realistic case studies or using actual data from their own environments.
