Episode Notes

In this episode of Redefining Cybersecurity podcast, host Sean Martin discusses the fundamentals of risk management in cybersecurity with Ryan Leirvik, author of "Understand, Manage and Measure Cyber Risk: Practical Solutions for Creating a Sustainable Cyber Program." The conversation centers around the importance of understanding risk management in cybersecurity, categorizing assets, and identifying what's important to the business versus what's important to the individual.

They also discuss the need to use frameworks like NIST-CSF to define and categorize risks and the importance of responding quickly to active threats and having a plan in place for recovery. Sean and Ryan provide practical advice for creating a sustainable cyber program that prioritizes risk management and explain how to set the stage for conversations about cybersecurity with stakeholders. Overall, the episode provides valuable insights into risk management in cybersecurity and how to prioritize and protect critical assets.

ABOUT THE BOOK

When it comes to managing cybersecurity in an organization, most organizations tussle with basic foundational components. This practitioner’s guide lays down those foundational components, with real client examples and pitfalls to avoid.

A plethora of cybersecurity management resources are available―many with sound advice, management approaches, and technical solutions―but few with one common theme that pulls together management and technology, with a focus on executive oversight. Author Ryan Leirvik helps solve these common problems by providing a clear, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-deploy "playbook" for a cyber risk management approach applicable to your entire organization.

This second edition provides tools and methods in a straight-forward, practical manner to guide the management of a cybersecurity program. Expanded sections include the critical integration of cyber risk management into enterprise risk management, the important connection between a Software Bill of Materials and Third-party Risk Programs, and additional "how to" tools and material for mapping frameworks to controls.

Who This Book Is For

CISOs, CROs, CIOs, directors of risk management, and anyone struggling to pull together frameworks or basic metrics to quantify uncertainty and address risk
