On June 4, Stephan will attend the Second International Theoretical and Practical Conference on “Managing Information Security in Modern Society” in Moscow organized by the Higher School of Economics-National Research University, The Russian Foundation for Fundamental Research and the Russian Academy of Information Systems.
His presentation will deal with “Information Security and National Risk Assessment. The Dutch Example”. Here is the abstract of his presentation: “The information era in which we now live has unleashed an unprecedented wave of new opportunities for our economies, societies and polities. But it has also brought a daunting range of new risks. Governments are still widely acknowledged to bear special responsibilities in managing these risks.
But can they ‘fit’ information security into the bigger security picture? How can governments determine what part of their overall attention and investment portfolio should go to this new area, as opposed to the various other man-made and natural security challenges that surround us?
This presentation will describe and analyze the experiences the Dutch government has made with a whole-of-government approach to national risk assessment that has been described as ‘best practice’ by the OECD and the World Bank. It will present the background of this approach, the method that is being used, the results over the past 7 years and the impact they have had on decision-making and on budgetary priorities, with a special focus on the role of information security.”
