Course description

Risk management includes recognizing the assets key to your business success, documenting known threats, and their likelihood, calculating the impact of a potential breach and implementing specific controls to avoid breaches or minimize the impact if any occur. Further, for those assets, you identify processes to recover from a breach, and explicitly recognize the remaining risk that you choose to accept.

Business continuity and disaster recovery planning extends this by responding when the unexpected happens and preparing to continue conducting business as usual, and as quickly as possible with as little impact on day to day operations. When disaster strikes, how much will it affect your company? Your reputation? Your customers?

In this course, you learn to identify and evaluate risk to your highest priority assets, and also how to design, implement, and maintain effective, risk treatment controls. This course is also helpful for those working toward industry certifications like CRISC, ABCP, CFCP, CBCI, Security+ or others.
