Risk appetite for information security
Best practice in risk management tells us that we need to understand our risk appetite and measure risk in relation to this. But how do we measure our appetite for information security risk?
Acuity has created a presentation describing requirements, concepts and approaches to setting risk appetite, with some practical examples. Please click on the link below to download the presentation.
Financial crisis - where was the human judgement?
It had been generally accepted that the financial crisis was caused, in part, by an over-reliance on statistical computer models. Banks calculate their Value at Risk (VaR) every day using sophisticated computer modelling techniques based largely on historical data to determine, for example, that there is a less that 1% chance of losing $50 million in the next 10 days under normal market conditions. We are now experiencing the consequences of abnormal market conditions.

Whitepaper - Risk management needs to start giving executives what they want
This paper argues that the risk management industry is currently failing business managers because it is not giving them the information that they need to manage risk effectively. The vast majority of avoidable business disasters or failures occur because those executives with the power to take action to avoid or mitigate the risks aren’t aware of the true risks.
