COURSE DESCRIPTION: Is your IT infrastructure sufficiently secure? Have you invested enough in making you systems safe or do you need to spend more?
Difficult questions for financial executives because most are not technology experts … and few investments in IT security can be measured using traditional ROI metrics.
Ask your IT team and you’re sure to hear that you need more … the latest upgrade … new security tools … and a well-padded wish-list including all the bells and whistles. But where should you draw the line? A secure IT infrastructure is important but you don’t have a bottomless bucket of money to spend on “nice to have” instead of “need to have” items.
If you could use some help assessing the health of your IT infrastructure, this program is a must. Our expert speaker will outline how to spot weaknesses in your business critical systems … and help you visualize how they can be compromised. He’ll cover the impact these risk-areas can have on your bottom line and how to set priorities on additional investments … if you need to make them at all.
The program will cover:
- What is “IT Risk Modeling” and how can you use this approach to set investment priorities
- Why IT standards like ITGI and COBIT may not be that useful
- Metrics to help you measure your IT security risk levels
- Benchmarking your IT security budget
- Top 5 risks in most small to medium business environments
- How to start a risk assessment process using a top down approach
- What IT security problems should you mitigate immediately … and which can wait
- Why you should stop thinking in terms of ROI and start thinking in terms of Loss of Revenue when it comes to IT investments
