Trust-Enhanced Risk Management

March 16, 2015 (at 9:30 a.m.)

Corporate decisions are made on the basis of risk analysis, and they often miss on recognising the importance of trust as a true cornerstone of corporate security. Trust- Enhanced Risk Management (TERM) integrates trust into risk-based decisions-making, thus allowing companies to benefit from more thorough analysis and better risk management without drastically departing from established practices.

The objective of this workshop is to familiarise participants with the concept of TERM and its applicability in a corporate (and private) environment. Specifically, the workshop introduces two tools that help participants integrate trust and risk for the purpose of an improved corporate security. These are:

As the result of the workshop, participants will: * learn to appreciate the fundamental role of trust in corporate security * be able to demonstrate the value of TERM * develop skills to apply selected tools to situations at hand * recognise means by which TERM can be introduced to the corporation * understand the value of diagnostic and corrective actions * deepen the understating of the relationship between risk and trust

This workshop is addressed mostly to corporate risk analysts and managers, specifically from the area of information security. It may benefit both seasoned professionals and those who contemplate entering the profession. No deep knowledge of particular risk management standards is required, but participants are expected to have an appreciation for risk management in general.
