MIT’s Internet Policy Research Initiative will be hosting experts from industry, government and academia to discuss the status of efforts to measure and track cyber risk across the financial system. Distinguished keynote speakers and panelists will review the current challenges and discuss the potential ways that a comprehensive set of cyber metrics could enable system stakeholders to respond effectively to the rapidly evolving threat landscape. Topics include risk metrics and predictive statistics, threat analysis and scenario development and their relationship to operational resilience and financial stability. We’ll conclude with a discussion of how these efforts can improve risk mitigation and some promising initiatives that could address existing challenges.
