SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Jan. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Jim Mirochnik, CEO at HALOCK Security Labs and Board Member of The DoCRA Council, will be presenting at the RSA Conference 2020 taking place on February 24th – 28th in San Francisco, CA, at the Moscone Center.

"Securing the Budget You Need! Translating Technology Costs to Business Impact" is scheduled for Friday, February 28th at 8:30 a.m. The session describes how an industry-proven methodology, Duty of Care Risk Analysis (DoCRA), can help communicate to the C-Suite in a new way to justify the budget needed. This method allows the Business to understand their security risks in terms of (a) their customers, (b) their business objectives and (c) third party obligations. By defining security risks in terms that are understood by the business, DoCRA enables the business to make informed decisions and approve appropriate resources. This presentation will include recent client case studies, demonstrating how security needs were misunderstood using traditional risk assessment methods and how DoCRA helped communicate these risks in business terms and with positive results. Attendees will:

  • Receive free downloadable templates for a proven budget justification narrative.
  • Learn how DoCRA can establish a common language for risk tolerance with the Business.
  • Experience through real-life case studies how DoCRA helped justify and secure budgets.

This year, RSA Conference focuses on the Human Element, highlighting the relationship between people and technology. Over 45,000 cybersecurity professionals attend this leading event to learn and network with industry peers and thought leaders and provides a beneficial opportunity for further insight.
