Improving Processes and Communication to Reduce Risk

To truly reduce risk and vulnerabilities, it is important to improve process, communication, and motivation across all departments. This means recognizing that vulnerability management is not just a technical matter for IT and security, but a business risk reduction issue that involves each department. The key is to foster a risk-focused conversation and not solely rely on risk as a stick but instead enable the business processes that risk aims to improve. By reframing the conversation in terms of business impact analysis and understanding why people care, organizations can make progress in reducing risks.
