Alex Sidorenko is an experienced risk manager, the host of Risk Awareness Week, and runs a popular blog and Youtube channel called “Risk Academy.” In 2021, Alex was named the Risk Manager of the Year by FERMA for helping save 13 million dollars in insurance premiums. Today, he breaks down the three layers of risk management— basic, standardized, and advanced. He explains that cybersecurity is still at the basic level because industry professionals haven't figured out how to quantify uncertainty to calculate risk and save money.
