Quantifying Risk & Optimizing Responses: Scaling Your MSSP for Reduced Randomness - Ira Winkler - CFH #25 Cyber For Hire (Audio)

    • Technology

Risk isn't a static measurement. Threats like malware campaigns, vulnerabilities, human error and unreliable third-party partners can fluctuate in their severity depending on ever-changing circumstances. That's why knowing which risk is of highest priority at any given time can allow MSSPs to dynamically adjust their prevention and mitigation efforts, for both themselves and their clients. But which sources of risk do you measure, and what factors go into such a calculation? How frequently do you remeasure? And upon learning the latest risk scores, what are sound tactics for prioritization, response and mitigation? This session will explore the big questions surrounding risk quantification and optimization for managed security providers. Managed services providers know that investments in talent, tools and infrastructure can take a heavy financial toll. But as MSSPs continue to grow and take on more clients, they can hopefully achieve certain economies of scale such that their previous infusions of funds eventually pay for themselves. This session will look at the key investment areas where security providers can get the most bang for their buck as they expand their business and expand their customer base.
