| excel risk assessment template: How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk Douglas W. Hubbard, Richard Seiersen, 2016-07-25 A ground shaking exposé on the failure of popular cyber risk management methods How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk exposes the shortcomings of current risk management practices, and offers a series of improvement techniques that help you fill the holes and ramp up security. In his bestselling book How to Measure Anything, author Douglas W. Hubbard opened the business world's eyes to the critical need for better measurement. This book expands upon that premise and draws from The Failure of Risk Management to sound the alarm in the cybersecurity realm. Some of the field's premier risk management approaches actually create more risk than they mitigate, and questionable methods have been duplicated across industries and embedded in the products accepted as gospel. This book sheds light on these blatant risks, and provides alternate techniques that can help improve your current situation. You'll also learn which approaches are too risky to save, and are actually more damaging than a total lack of any security. Dangerous risk management methods abound; there is no industry more critically in need of solutions than cybersecurity. This book provides solutions where they exist, and advises when to change tracks entirely. Discover the shortcomings of cybersecurity's best practices Learn which risk management approaches actually create risk Improve your current practices with practical alterations Learn which methods are beyond saving, and worse than doing nothing Insightful and enlightening, this book will inspire a closer examination of your company's own risk management practices in the context of cybersecurity. The end goal is airtight data protection, so finding cracks in the vault is a positive thing—as long as you get there before the bad guys do. How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk is your guide to more robust protection through better quantitative processes, approaches, and techniques. |
| excel risk assessment template: Business Cases for Risk Management Julian Talbot, 2014-06-16 In over 25 years of managing risks across a range of disciplines and industries, I have in only one instance, had adequate resources to implement appropriate risk strategies. That was following a terrorist attack on the Jakarta Embassy when the government of the day, insisted that all our overseas missions would be protected to a minimum standard. At the time, I was Manager, Property and Security for the Australian Trade Commission with a remit spanning 60 nations. In a few short months, my team and I built a $56 million budget, and for a short period, our greatest challenge was spending the money fast enough to meet the program timelines. For the rest of my career, the biggest challenge has been finding adequate funding - and I have to say, that with research, practice and dedication, I've become rather good at it. Even without having met you, I'm going to suggest that finding sufficient funds to do what you know you need to do, is probably your biggest challenge right now. This book was designed with one purpose in mind - to help you get the resources you need to support the right risk treatments. It was born when a friend of mine asked me one day, how can I demonstrate the business case for my risk treatments? That simple question proved much more difficult to answer than I would have thought. It did however, prompt me to change one of my master's electives to conduct a research project into the business case for investments in risk management. That in turn, lead me to create a training course the topic, and before long, the workbook from that course became this book. The book draws on research from a range of disciplines and using generous color graphics, is designed to take you through the full process of initiating, researching, developing, analysing, writing and finally presenting a business case. Although the focus is on business cases for risk treatments, you don't need to be a risk expert and the same concepts are applicable to any business case. It's been designed with simple tips to get you started including: - The 4C's of defining a problem? - The 4A's of defining a recommended solution - ESIEAP (The Hierarchy of Controls) to determine which type of risk treatment is better? - The 8 simple steps that you can do on a single sheet of paper to determine whether your proposed business case has merit. - How to use the 4A's, 4C's and ESIEAP to spot a poor business case in under 5 minutes (including self-assessing your business case before the boss does). If you've been struggling to get your IT project, portfolio planning, safety, security or finance business cases funded, then this is the book for you. In just a few short hours you can know all you need to know to develop a great business case. |

In short, risk assessment analyses what can go wrong, how likely it is to happen and, if it happens, what are the potential consequences. Since risk is a multi-disciplinary domain, this book gathers contributions covering a wide spectrum of topics with regard to their theoretical background and field of application. The work is organized in the three core areas of risk assessment. |

| excel risk assessment template: The Quality Toolbox Nancy Tague, 2004-07-14 The Quality Toolbox is a comprehensive reference to a variety of methods and techniques: those most commonly used for quality improvement, many less commonly used, and some created by the author and not available elsewhere. The reader will find the widely used seven basic quality control tools (for example, fishbone diagram, and Pareto chart) as well as the newer management and planning tools. Tools are included for generating and organizing ideas, evaluating ideas, analyzing processes, determining root causes, planning, and basic data-handling and statistics. The book is written and organized to be as simple as possible to use so that anyone can find and learn new tools without a teacher. Above all, this is an instruction book. The reader can learn new tools or, for familiar tools, discover new variations or applications. It also is a reference book, organized so that a half-remembered tool can be found and reviewed easily, and the right tool to solve a particular problem or achieve a specific goal can be quickly identified. With this book close at hand, a quality improvement team becomes capable of more efficient and effective work with less assistance from a trained quality consultant. Quality and training professionals also will find it a handy reference and quick way to expand their repertoire of tools, techniques, applications, and tricks. For this second edition, Tague added 34 tools and 18 variations. The Quality Improvement Stories chapter has been expanded to include detailed case studies from three Baldrige Award winners. An entirely new chapter, Mega-Tools: Quality Management Systems, puts the tools into two contexts: the historical evolution of quality improvement and the quality management systems within which the tools are used. This edition liberally uses icons with each tool description to reinforce for the reader what kind of tool it is and where it is used within the improvement process. |

Allowing beginners to enter the field and understand the key concepts and ideas, while still keeping the experienced readers updated on topics and concepts. It is intended mainly for beginners to the field of information security, written in a way that makes it easy for them to understand the detailed content of the book. The book offers a practical and simple view of the security practices while still offering somewhat technical and detailed information relating to security. It helps the reader build a strong foundation of information, allowing them to move forward from the book with a larger knowledge base. Security is a constantly growing concern that everyone must deal with. Whether it’s an average computer user or a highly skilled computer user, they are always confronted with different security risks. These risks range in danger and should always be dealt with accordingly. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of the dangers or how to prevent them and this is where most of the issues arise in information technology (IT). When computer users do not take security into account many issues can arise from that like system compromises or loss of data and information. This is an obvious issue that is present with all computer users. This book is intended to educate the average and experienced user of what kinds of different security practices and standards exist. It will also cover how to manage security software and updates in order to be as protected as possible from all of the threats that they face. |

| excel risk assessment template: In It for the Long Haul John Toomey, 2021-10-12 The aim of this book is to explore and reveal how people can turn FIFO into an extraordinary experience. Along the journey, it explores the lifestyle, the potential causes of mental illness, the many opportunities for great achievement and happiness, and a formula for making it work. Everyone who engages in FIFO work, whether it be for a few years or an entire career, gets to make the most of it and to make it a most loved part of their life.In the FIFO system, companies transport workers to and from the site in great comfort, they provide comfortable and private accommodation, plenty of freshly prepared food, recreational facilities, internet access, excellent pay, perhaps the safest working conditions in the world and they are governed by fair and equitable laws.On the other hand, FIFO work does not guarantee long term job security. Markets fluctuate, mineral deposits, oil reserves diminish, large infrastructure projects finish, economies often slow down, and demand often changes. Some projects have a definite length, like construction jobs, while others are subject to these oft-unpredictable factors.All of this means that working FIFO can be unpredictable and lacking in security. It can mean months off work with no pay, losing money on real estate investments and being forced to relocate to different parts of the country. It can be a rocky ride.This book looks at the nitty gritty of FIFO whilst keeping an eye on a much bigger picture. It helps the reader prepare for FIFO work and life so that they can optimise their experience, whether they are going solo, leaving a family, or if they are the partner or family member left at home. |

| excel risk assessment template: Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Security: Impact and Implications Reza Montasari, Hamid Jahankhani, 2021-11-26 The book provides a valuable reference for cyber security experts, digital forensic practitioners and network security professionals. In recent years, AI has gained substantial attention from researchers in both academia and industry, and as a result AI’s capabilities are constantly increasing at an extraordinary pace. AI is considered to be the Fourth Industrial Revolution or at least the next significant technological change after the evolution in mobile and cloud computing technologies. AI is a vehicle for improving the quality of our lives across every spectrum with a broad range of beneficial applications in various sectors. Notwithstanding its numerous beneficial use, AI simultaneously poses numerous legal, ethical, security and privacy challenges that are compounded by its malicious use by criminals. These challenges pose many risks to both our privacy and security at national, organisational and individual levels. In view of this, this book aims to help address some of these challenges focusing on the implication, impact and mitigations of the stated issues. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of not only the technical and ethical issues presented by the use of AI but also the adversarial application of AI and its associated implications. The authors recommend a number of novel approaches to assist in better detecting, thwarting and addressing AI challenges. The book also looks ahead and forecasts what attacks can be carried out in the future through the malicious use of the AI if sufficient defences are not implemented. The research contained in the book fits well into the larger body of work on various aspects of AI and cyber security. It is also aimed at researchers seeking to obtain a more profound knowledge of machine learning and deep learning in the context of cyber security, digital forensics and cybercrime. Furthermore, the book is an exceptional advanced text for Ph.D. and master’s degree programmes in cyber security, digital forensics, network security, cyber terrorism and computer science. Each chapter contributed to the book is written by an internationally renowned expert who has extensive experience in law enforcement, industry or academia. Furthermore, this book blends advanced research findings with practice-based methods to provide the reader with advanced understanding and relevant skills. |

| excel risk assessment template: Project Health Assessment Paul S. Royer, PMP, 2014-10-24 Project managers, sponsors, team members, and involved stakeholders know when things aren’t going well. A frequent first indication is a missing or errant process. Project Health Assessment presents an innovative approach for assessing project processes through a set of ten critical success factors based on PMI’s PMBOK® Guide knowledge areas. The findings from such assessments can help project managers reduce project risk, improve stakeholder satisfaction, and increase the likelihood of project success, as demonstrated by 30+ assessments done over 15 years of putting this approach into practice. Project Health Assessment breaks down each PMBOK® Guide knowledge area into its process steps, inputs, and outputs and then creates critical success factor questions that evaluate its effectiveness and potential risk. These questions can be used by project managers to establish sufficient project processes or by external entities to evaluate a project and assess its overall risk The book illustrates critical success factor points through numerous case studies, including a step-by-step example of how to conduct a project health assessment from engagement acquisition through startup, initial assessment, and periodic follow-up assessments. The book provides several downloadable document, spreadsheet, and scheduling templates that practitioners can customize and use in their projects. Using these tools, you can avoid or minimize the cost of failed projects to your organization. |
