Speaker: John Mitchell, Managing Director, LHS Business Control
Chair of BCS Information Risk Management and Assurance Specialist Group
Event Details: Computer systems are only a model of the real world, in that banking systems do not really hold your money and social media outlets do not really contain your physical body. None-the-less these models are sufficiently important to be viewed as reality by society and the protection of the data they contain is of prime importance to organisations and individuals alike.
So what are risks and how can they be managed, if at all? Changes in technology has had significant impact on the so called control paradigm which has led to significant exposure in how we deal with information risk in the real world. This session will examine the exposures and how they can be managed and will provide a unique insight into the toolkit available to the assurance providers and how the gap between exposure and assurance is being tackled.
