Date Published: 18 September 2019

While no one can predict the future, one can reasonably anticipate negative events and their outcomes, and even plan for appropriate responses. Risk management is a proactive planning process that mitigates and provides plans around negative events, should they occur. Enterprises need a framework for analyzing risk and developing sound treatment plans in response to risk realization.

To better understand risk frameworks, how they are constructed and how they apply to enterprise risk management, attend the “Introduction to Risk Management” webinar presented by ISACA. This webinar takes place on 2 October at 11AM CDT (UTC -5 hours). ISACA members can earn 1 continuing professional education (CPE) hour by attending this webinar and completing a related survey.

Peter C. Tessin, CISA, CRISC, CISM, CGEIT, senior manager at Discover Financial Services, will lead the webinar. At Discover Financial Services, Tessin leads the governance group within the business technology (BT) risk function.
