In the banking and finance sector the onus is on the financial organization to maintain compliance with regulations while supporting the dynamic landscape of the business. Often this means incorporating new assets or joining business units, but divesting assets can prove to be a greater challenge. In his presentation Mitchell highlights how Skybox enabled network visibility that was necessary to determine asset ownership while divesting part of the organization. With Skybox, BT was able to identify key assets that could have been lost during the separation, which otherwise would not have been discovered until after the separation was complete. Additionally Mitchell will talk about reputational risk, and how maintaining your reputation as secure institution can be an important consideration when allocating funding for security. BT Global Services delivers a combination of communications and IT services to more than 10,000 organizations and governments worldwide. With decades of experience working at the forefront of network security, BT helps their customers understand and prioritize the risks faced in their organizations, and provides solutions to defend against the ever-changing threat environment.

Justifying Risk Mitigation Expenditure : Business Case
• Risk mitigation may have to
compete for funds with plans for
growth and greater efficiency
• Executive scorecards rarely
include risk reduction, but may
include growth, cost reduction
and defence of market share
• Risk mitigation aims to cut
potential losses and unbudgeted
expenditure
• Support for cost reduction is
only realistic for high frequency
risks
• Fears, Uncertainty and Doubts
(FUDs) play a major role
• Regulatory compliance is a
common theme
• Avoiding reputation and brand
damage is intangible justification
• Avoidance of regret is an
underlying principle
• Satisfying audit requirements is
valid with risk-based auditing
• Clear definition of risk appetite
makes justification much easier
