Brief overview of the Workshop:
This session will examine a risk-based information security assessment, utilizing an information security
standard as a foundation. However, the methodology explored in this workshop is applicable to diverse
risk-based assessments.
Participants will engage with a generic tool and delve into a real-world scenario through a case study. This
hands-on approach empowers attendees to practically apply the knowledge gained in the 3-hour
workshop and craft their own assessments, fostering a deeper understanding of risk evaluation and
mitigation strategies.
