Risk management services
Connect security risk management with the overall business by quantifying security risk in financial terms
Overview
One of the key challenges for security teams has been describing and managing security risks in the context of the business. Qualitative security assessments can surface issues but fail to quantify either the probability of occurrence or the impact of the risk. Putting security risk in financial terms can help executives make better decisions, connecting security risk management with overall business strategy.

A model for risk quantification
When IBM Security™ found security vulnerabilities in their human resources system, the client was reluctant to invest in an encryption upgrade to the legacy system. But when IBM quantified a projected financial loss of a successful cyber attack, executives understood the impact and were better equipped to make a decision — and mitigate risks to the enterprise.
