Think you’ve planned ahead enough for potential crises and disasters? Think again—emergencies frequently throw curveballs at organizations, so your crisis communication plan needs to be ready to pivot, says Mike Bailey in this episode of the SM Highlights podcast with host Brendan Howard. Then, once you’ve planned, it’s time to test. The ASIS Crisis Management and Business Continuity community chair Rob Currie outlines best practices for designing more robust and useful exercises. Also in this episode, hear from the incoming 2023 ASIS President, Tim McCreight, CPP, about the professional and personal value of volunteering and how he makes time in his busy schedule to give back.

Risk Beats is a high-energy rap that dives deep into the world of Cyber Risk Quantification, breaking down complex concepts into catchy verses. 

This track covers everything from the basics of risk metrics to a bold diss against traditional models like FAIR, all while showcasing the power of QBER (Quantified Business Exposure to Risk). 

With precision, clarity, and real data-driven insights, "Risk Beats" is the anthem for cybersecurity professionals who know that protecting their business means no more guessing—just quantifying risk with facts. 

Tune in for a mix of knowledge, rhythm, and swagger!


Lyrics:

Yo, check it, it's all about quantifying risk, Let’s break it down, so you get the gist. Numbers over guesses, precision’s the key, Cyber risk quantified, let's make it clear, you'll see.

(Verse 1) Yo, you know the drill, risk is real, Cyber threats coming, let’s make them feel, Risk quantification’s the new frontier, No more guessing, let's make it clear.
We got the metrics, let the numbers speak, Exposure and likelihood, let’s take a peek. FAIR model, QBER's in play, Let’s break it down in a clear-cut way.

Cyber risk quantification, we keep it tight, Measure the threat and make the metrics bright. From exposure to impact, we make it clear, Cyber risk quantified, no more fear.

(Verse 2) Risk register’s alive, it’s a dynamic thing, It adapts to the threat, like a bird with wings. Mitigate the risk, don’t just guess, Value the impact, and clean up the mess.
Use data and insight, make those connections, Link it to your business, draw the reflections. Risk appetite? Yeah, we align, With quantified numbers, we're gonna shine.
Let’s talk monetary, we bring the math, Convert the threats into what they cost, on the path. Cyber value at risk, how much do you pay? For breaches and downtime, every single day.

Cyber risk quantification, we keep it tight, Measure the threat and make the metrics bright. From exposure to impact, we make it clear, Cyber risk quantified, no more fear.

(Verse 3) Now let’s talk FAIR, it’s time to diss, It’s based on assumptions, can’t trust that bliss. Risk appetite’s vague, and data’s unclear, It’s all theoretical, let’s shift the gear.
FAIR’s got the framework, but lacks precision, It’s all based on guesswork, no clear decision. When it comes to risk, we need that clarity, QBER’s the answer, bringing real parity.
With QBER, we quantify with no shame, It’s all about data, no guessing the game. We map the threats, we calculate true, No fuzzy logic, just the facts, it’s true.

FAIR's got complexity, it’s built on assumptions, Doesn’t show you the dollars or the real repercussions. QBER’s the upgrade, precise and clean, Risk quantification done right, you know what I mean.
FAIR might give you a model, but lacks that depth, QBER's in the game with the business prep. No guesswork here, just metrics that fit, QBER’s the king, and FAIR doesn’t quit.

Analyze, visualize, turn numbers into force, Cyber risk quantified, a powerful course. From frameworks to scans, we keep it in sight, Data-driven decisions, we take the flight.

Cyber risk quantification, we keep it tight, Measure the threat and make the metrics bright. From exposure to impact, we make it clear, Cyber risk quantified, no more fear.

So now you know, it’s not just a trend, Risk quantification’s how we transcend. No more guesswork, just facts we bring, Cyber risk quantified, let the numbers sing.

Drop the mic on risk with precision!
