This is my third post in a series, detailing my exploration of risk and risk management. I’m going to focus significantly less on the paper fromDRAGOS researcher, Jason Christopher in this post. That paper did kick start my exploration of many of these topics and presented its own approach, modeled after ISO 31000. \(ISC^2\) actually teaches that developing your own approach by combining different approaches is a best practice. That makes the DRAGOS report a good example, and I will lead off with that before exploring many of the different options.

This is my second post detailing my exploration of risk and risk management. I’m still primarily focused on the paper from a DRAGOS researcher, Jason Christopher. The paper can be found here. In this post I’m going tackle risk equations because I think they are very useful (and can be misleading). I want to make it clear that I am analyzing this report from Dragos and maybe even being critical of it, but I think it is outstanding work! Ripping apart these topics and starting a dialogue is the way to advance understanding.

I created a new course in the first semester of the 2021 academic year. This course was necessary because we created a new Cyber Science major and needed to cover certain topics for ABET accreditation. This course also covered a few requirements (like databases) for our computer science majors. This is the first course all cyber and computer science majors take, along with intro to programming. I may write about this course and process later. I bring it up now because risk and risk management were topics I created lessons for and this got me really interested in this area.

I’ve chosen to create a blog on things I’m working on. My Hello World blog post will be about my journey to creating a Hello World page using asciidoctor. I’m doing this on my Mac using VSCode, so the instructions will work for that primarily, but should be easily extended to other platforms. This blog is primarily to help me take notes and organize my thoughts. There may be others out there that find it useful.
