WORKING SESSION IDENTIFICATION
Short Work Session Description We all know that you can’t control what you can’t measure and that you need to measure the right things or you won’t be steering towards the right outcome. For this session we will define the right outcome as “low risk to an organization from vulnerabilities in applications.” This session will discuss assigning business risk to applications and it would also be great if this could be translated into monetary risk to determine if an organizations investment in applications is not too much or too little. This is a big unsolved problem so come prepared with ideas and be willing to take part in a discussion.
