Description:

This webinar is about the principles of Risk Analysis and Risk Management to prioritize risks. It makes heavy use of the NIST 800-30 document, as revised and finalized on 09/18/2012.

The basis to understanding the process of risk analysis is the simple knowledge of the possession of an asset if it has to be protected. At its core, this presentation will offer participants ways of determining where the risks to the organization exist. It will lead them to where to look for this information. The step to take after identifying information asset locations is to explore the risk and safeguards to that information. Risk assessments thus like at the heart of effective risk management and facilitate decision making at all three tiers in the risk management hierarchy: the organization level, mission/business process level, and information system level.

This presentation is essentially about how to explore risks at all levels including network, application and organizational risks.

When it comes to HIPAA, its security rule requires every covered entity (CE) to conduct a risk analysis to determine security risks and implement measures, "to sufficiently reduce those risks and vulnerabilities to a reasonable and appropriate level", to use its own words. Also, to qualify for Meaningful Use, an organization must complete a HIPAA Risk Analysis and implement a Risk Management Program. This must be done involving all levels of the organizations in the security and Risk Analysis/Risk Management. This is the means to ensuring that organizations prioritize risk appropriately and address the highest risk to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic Protected Health Information.

There are processes and methods that can assist organizations prioritize IT security projects which address the highest risks to the organization. All these are covered at this session.
