CERT Spotlight: OCTAVE

How much of a risk taker are you?

OCTAVE

Why jeopardize your business by relying on a reactive approach? Wouldn't you rather identify information security risks in advance so that you can determine how to address them in a way that supports your organization's mission and priorities?

We developed OCTAVE to help you evaluate your organization's risk. Regardless which of the three available methods you choose, OCTAVE guides you through the process of identifying critical assets, the threats to those assets, and strategies for mitigating your risk. Because the methods are all flexible, you can tailor them to suit your needs.
