Discuss the real-world impact that remediation and risk management have on organizational operations. We’ll approach the issue that remediation causes system downtime, lost productivity, unexpected system faults, etc. The problem of opportunity cost will be addressed. The discussion will conclude with a discussion of data and risk driven processes to address when and when not to implement specific remediations. This will include a look at the business impact on people, processes, budget, and partners, not just a focus on technical or security risks. Lastly, we will touch on communications techniques to senior leadership and the Board of Directors.
