Course 3 - Risk Identification, Monitoring and Analysis
This is the third course under the specialization SSCP
In this course, we will explore how to manage the risks related to information systems. It is time to bring these ideas together in a context of continuous maturity modeling, measuring, and monitoring, which we will see is focused on the here and now. Risk alignment works best at the strategic, long-term level of planning; risk maturation, by contrast, can be most effective when considered in the day-to-day of business operations. This is sometimes called operationalizing the approach to risk management and maturation.
