Book Chapter on Cyber Risk Quantification in Fintech

Jack Freund, of Measuring and Managing Information Risk fame, edited and released a new book titled Fintech: Growth and Deregulation. I’m happy to announce that I wrote a chapter titled “Cyber-risk Quantification of Financial Technology.”

I had a great time writing the chapter and I’m really happy with the way it turned out. I currently work at one of the largest fintechs, LendingClub, and I used my experience as a technology and information security risk manager to communicate emerging risks and demonstrate a quantitative risk assessment based on FAIR.

Some of the topics I covered:

• The changing security paradigm that some financial technologies, such as blockchain, present

• Risk management in an uncertain regulatory environment

• The perils of using poor risk management techniques

• Performing a risk analysis of blockchain ledgers

• Expanding the idea of threat agents as it applies to fintech
