About the Conference
Keeping uncertainty visible through simulation lets diverse stakeholders assess the situation according to their own risk attitudes, allowing them to make well informed risk management decisions. The open SIPmath™ standard has enabled this approach in the modeling of operational risk, and has just been applied to an implementation of the Open Factor Analysis of Information Risk standard (Open FAIR™) to quantify cybersecurity risk.
This conference explores these and other standards that facilitate the adoption of simulated risk management in an effort to better serve diverse stakeholders.
Register before January 31 for early registration discount. Registration includes the SIPmath Enterprise Tools for Windows, a $500 value.
