Introduction to IT Assessments
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Your information technology assets provide significant value to your organization and can be a great source of competitive advantage. They also pose unique challenges which must be addressed as part of the organization's ongoing risk management process.
FFIEC guidance requires all financial institutions to conduct a risk assessment as part of their information security program. Many people find this to be a daunting task and become overwhelmed with the seemingly complex requirements of the FFIEC examination manual. This webinar is designed to help get you started on a sustainable process of evaluating and managing information technology risks by breaking down the terminology of risk assessment into a business oriented approach which you can integrate into your ongoing operations.
Issues that will be discussed include:
- Information security program and risk assessment introduction
- Identification of information assets
- Classification and ranking of data and systems
- Evaluating threats and vulnerabilities
- Quantifying risk and controls
- Risk mitigation and acceptance
