About this course
Security risk management is the ongoing process of identifying security risks and implementing plans to address them. Most security professionals should have a solid foundation in this important cross-disciplinary initiative. In this course, you will take a deep dive into security risk management, including risk identification and assessment. Then you will explore risk analysis concepts like qualitative and quantitative analysis and impact/magnitude. Next, you will discover risk treatment and handling strategies, including transfer, acceptance, and exemption. You will examine risk registers and ledgers, key risk indicators, risk owners, and risk thresholds. Finally, you will investigate risk reporting techniques and business impact analysis (BIA) to predict the consequences of a disruption to a business and collect information needed to develop recovery strategies. This course is part of a series that prepares you for the CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) exam.
