This 12-video course explores risk management when engaging in business activities supported by IT solutions. Prepare for the Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) certification exam as you examine risk classification, and learn how to identify digital assets and threats, including natural disasters such as floods, fires, or storms; manmade disasters, arson, terrorism; and identity theft. This course demonstrates threat modeling, and the process to use to identify and prioritize threats. You will examine how to optimize resources, and to focus on reducing risks, and explore counter measures in relation to prioritized threats. Next, explore BIA (business impact analysis), and its importance to business continuity. You will learn how a BIA can be incorporated into a DRP (disaster recovery plan) to facilitate recovery of a failed system. Learners will examine the use of a risk registry with the likelihood of the risk occurrence, the business impact should it occur, and a severity rating. You will learn about risk avoidance and mitigation. Finally, you will explore cost efficiencies for risk mitigation.
