Using Game Theory to Inform Risk Management
Speakers: Casey Allen, CIO at Concentric
Location: Topaz Room
Tag: Risk
Game theory's broad applicability makes it an interesting lens through which security risk and control selection can be viewed. In the session, he will cover an example game where Player 1 is Team Defense, the security and ComOps professionals within a legitimate business whose job is to protect the organization’s information assets. Player 2 is Team Offense, a criminal enterprise intent on compromising those same assets. Using game theory principles, he will show how companies can perform risk assessments and select the best controls based on the results.
