Too many companies have adopted a single tool to analyze risk without considering all the tools available and when to use them. Even if they have done this - absent of a risk management system - they will increase rather than decrease risk by leaving mitigations undone and failing to obtain risk acceptance by management. They need to understand all the elements required to be effective and really reduce risk.
At the conclusion of the presentation you will understand:
All the elements of Risk Management beyond risk analysis.
