Risk Management and Information Systems Control: Introduction to Risk

Course Overview
Hi everyone, my name is Kevin Henry, a security and risk consultant and holder of the CRISC Certification. Welcome to my course on risk management. This first course is an overview of risk management and is followed by four more courses that examines each of the phases of risk management in more detail and will help you prepare for ISACA's CRISC or Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control examination. I work in outreach as a security evangelist at Team Cymru. Risk management is a key foundation for business today and understanding risk will help us protect the assets of our organization in a cost effective and efficient manner. Through this course, you will have the opportunity to gain a high-level understanding of the risk management process. This includes delving into knowledge of threats and attacks and exploring the mysteries and terminologies associated with risk. This knowledge is essential to being an effective security consultant, developer, auditor, or project manager. Some of the major topics that we will cover include the process of risk management, risk management terminology, risk management standards and corporate governance. By the end of this course, you'll have an understanding of risk management as a whole and the process and goals of a risk management endeavor. This is the first course in a series of five courses on risk management and I hope you will join me for each one of them. From here, you should feel comfortable diving into risk identification, risk assessment, risk response and risk monitoring. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn about risk management with this risk management overview course at Pluralsight.
