About this event
Dear members,
Our monthly for September 2021 will be held on Wednesday, 15 September 2021 and will be streamed live as virtual webinar. The link to the webinar will be shared with registered attendees.
Presentation Topic: STRATEGIC VALUE RISK EQUATION ('SVRE')
"STRATEGIC VALUE RISK EQUATION ('SVRE')", an approach for creating business value through effective risk management; and that which enables
- Optimisation of risk profile;
- Maximisation of risk posture;
- Maximisation of risk agility; and
- Maximisation of risk mitigation controls efficiencies.
The SVRE is an approach that can be leveraged to define strategic value aligned security strategy; and security operations management frameworks.
At the seminar, we will look to answer the following questions:
- Could security drive value creation and protection of created value? If yes, how?
- Could we, as security professionals, define, maintain, and deliver effective Security Strategy? If yes, how?
- Is there a way to harmonise Risk Management and Security Strategies, as well as Security Operations into a unified Value Management Strategy?
- How to determine when to invest and how much to invest in security?
