QCon San Francisco 2021 November 1-5, 2021 | | Using Data to Measure Risk in Cyber Systems

Abstract

Risk analysis in cyber systems remains an immature field with significant potential. Despite widespread belief that cyber can't be quantified, the tools and data already exist to significantly improve risk management. In this talk, we'll review the literature on risk quantification and discuss examples of data-driven risk analysis.

Speaker: Marshall Kuypers
