Simplify Cyber Risk

This lesson focuses on strategies that can address cyber risk. The overarching goal is to minimize risk by reducing both likelihood and impact, thereby enhancing organizational resilience against cyber threats.

Objectives

1. Reducing Likelihood: Break down the factors that increase the likelihood of cyber incidents to begin identifying ways to reduce the chances of a successful cyber-attack and manage vulnerabilities in an environment.
2. Minimizing Impact: Identify challenges and limitations related to mitigating the impact of cyber incidents and the strategies that can help this effort.
3. Best Practices: Review the core cybersecurity best practices that are essential for reducing both likelihood and impact. Many of these practices are now barriers to entry and expected of almost every business.
4. Advanced Strategies: Learn about more advanced risk reduction strategies that businesses should consider to go beyond the bare minimum.

Learners should wrap up this lesson with a deeper understanding of how to creatively think about reverse engineering risk to identify practices that can help with risk reduction. They will also have a better idea of what common and advanced practices help businesses mitigate cyber risk.
