ALBUQUERQUE, NM (January 9, 2013) — James Ulrich's Cyber Value-at-Risk method, presented today at FloCon 2013, quantifies the economic risk cyber attack poses to an organization. The financial industry quantifies monetary risk, but cybersecurity has tended to be technology-driven rather than based on rigorous risk assessments. Since security resources are limited, applying them effectively depends upon being able to recognize—in a rigorous, quantifiable way—what's at risk and what the cost of losing it would be. Ulrich presented FloCon's attendees—leading network security experts—a cost-constrained, Bayesian probabilistic approach to overall loss exposure that can optimize local cyber countermeasures. CyberVaR offers a way of intelligently and cost-effectively organizing enterprise defenses against the wide range of rapidly evolving cyber threats.
