#35 - Risk Management Explained Through Star Wars

We’ve heard you. We all want to know just how much it cost The Empire when the first Death Star was blown to oblivion by a young boy from Tatooine? How could the Empire let this happen?

Kenny Scott and Mike Schreiner dive deep into risk management and cybersecurity—all through the lens of Star Wars.

Kenny uses Star Wars analogies to break down key concepts like:
• 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀  (Death Stars)
• 𝗩𝘂𝗹𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀  (Thermal Exhaust Ports)
• 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 (X-wings)
• 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀 (Force fields, turrets, the Dark Side and Darth Vader)
• 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗲𝘀:
     • 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗲 all by yourself
     • 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 risk like pizza
     • 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗳𝗲𝗿 it to some do-gooder
     • 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 the risk (aka, just flat out ignore it)
     • 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 the risk it cuz you’re just too scared.

Whether you're looking to build a risk management program OR just geek out over Star Wars references, this episode has something for you.
