The Rand Blog

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and resulting sanctions will likely devastate Russia's economy.

Democratize Your Team’s Automation Capabilities With PagerDuty® Automation Actions by Joseph Mandros

PagerDuty

Russia and the Ukraine: How Geopolitical Events Impact Resilience Management

Castellan

When it comes to business continuity planning, a lot of organizations think about anticipated event types and make plans to adequately address them.

Reciprocity

Although people often use the words “assess” and “analyze” interchangeably, the terms are not synonymous in risk management. Each one has a specific meaning, and the distinction between the two is important. A risk assessment forms the backbone of your overall risk management plan. A risk analysis is one piece of the assessment process, where you determine the likelihood and criticality of each risk, and then assign each risk a score based on your findings.
