The challenge
How to deal with generic threats like cyber attacks?
Cyber security is one of the generic risks that most organizations struggle with. If you do not understand these risks first, then you also won’t be able to manage them.
The solution
Understand your risks through barrier based risk management
The bowtie method allows you to understand risks like cyber attacks so that you know what your critical barriers & controls are. For these barriers can take the appropriate measures, monitor these critical barriers and understand what to expect and what to do in case of an event.
Understand the possible impact
The bowtie method helps you to describe, assess and understand what your risk scenarios are.
Understand how to be prepared
Preparedness is understanding how to prevent threats that disturb your business. Part of this is to understand what you can do to regain control, mitigate consequences, but also how to inform others internally and externally. The bowtie method will allow you to do this in a way that everyone understands.
Know what to do in case of an event
The risk scenarios are linked to your mission critical processes and your procedures. It allows you to understand what your critical barriers and controls are, who is responsible for these barriers and controls, how these barriers and controls can be affected, how you can measure and manage these barriers and controls, and what actions need to be initiated and managed.
