Our team at RiskMinds Live uncover the burden of a principles-based regulation, BCBS-239, with Krishnan Ranganathan ahead of this year’s RiskMinds Asia conference in Hong Kong this October…

What is BCBS-239?

During the financial crisis, banks were unable to understand quickly and accurately their overall exposures and other risk metrics having a bearing on their key risk decisions. In January 2013, BCBS-239 was introduced as a principles-based regulation to address this issue and improve the risk

Intro

Sales development teams are taking a much more data-driven approach in recent years by closely tracking their metrics and performance. Benchmarking your performance against other companies offers a valuable way to see how your company stacks up against the competition.

We have collaborated again this year with The Bridge Group, an inside sales research and consultation organization,

You’d think with all the media attention regarding data breaches, hackers and identity theft, that consumers would be more focused on their privacy and how to protect their information from prying eyes. Surprisingly, almost 70% of the people are clueless about how a criminal might have got a hold of their personal information.

We all have a lot going on in our lives, and this is exactly how identity thieves like us. Ever lurking, these criminals are counting on us being too busy to give any thoug

If you have an iOS device, you may be leaking personal information about yourself—without even knowing it—because you’re not familiar with the privacy settings.

Apps have “permissions,” meaning, they can access private information such as your social calendar stored on the phone, appointments, anything. Go to the privacy menu under “settings” to learn which apps can gain this access and deactivate it. And there’s so much more to know…

Our team at RiskMinds Live got to grips with the risks of credit reading with Terry Benzschawel ahead of this year’s RiskMinds Americas conference, taking place in Chicago this September…

What are the key risk challenges that you are facing today?

I see two possible main sources of risk and a couple of lesser ones. First, I see the US Fed’s exit from QE and that of the European Central bank as having the

A couple of weeks ago, a colleague of mine came to tell me about a new finding that she knew I'd love: BCM helps reduce data breach costs.

All I could think was, 'FINALLY.'

This is something that I've been telling clients for years: BCM is more valuable to your business than you can possibly imagine.

The new research from Ponemon Institute found that data breaches now cost as much as $4m - to say nothing of reputational hits. And, you could face a double whammy with higher insurance premiums, too.

How many times have you read, or at least caught a headline, of the latest high profile missing child case? How many stories have we heard about the kid who got lost on a hike? His body was found several miles from where he’d been last seen, concluding a several-day search.

What if he had had an iPhone on his person at the time he wandered off in the middle of some vast woods? Sure he could call, but then what? Android and iPhones have a “find my phone” feature that a parent can track down a lost

Whether you love him or hate him, it must be said that Donald Trump has been a master in getting some people to listen to him, to agree with him, even like what he has to say.  He cuts through all the clutter and paints a picture that many people want to see.

No matter who you are advising, your children, your spouse, your boss or a manager and their team in another department, sometimes the challenge is so great, you need a trump card.

Segmentation.  Everyone’s doing it, but are you doing it right?  

Although segmentation should help target the right customers, it does not always bring the intended value. Inappropriately or incorrectly defined segments may lead management to make bad strategic decisions.

Market and Customer Segmentation defines a number of different groups of people or organizations, which our company aims to reach and serve.  The intent of the segmentation exercise is to two-fold:

Criminals often rely on tricking their victims to gain access to their passwords and other account information. This act of tricking is called social engineering, also known as a confidence crime, and it comes in many forms.

• A type of phishing e-mail where the criminal targets someone specific is called spearphishing. The spearphishing e-mail will look very much like the typical company e-mail that the real person uses.
• Example: The thief sends a trick e-mail (phishing) to a company employee he fo

The definition of the term “crowdfunding” has evolved in recent years. The term was originally used for donation-based crowdfunding only, but is now used to define capital-based crowdfunding — also known as Regulation Crowdfunding — under Title II (2) and then under Title III (3) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act of 2012.

The JOBS Act has significantly leveled the investment playing field, encouraging a growing number of entrepreneurs to begin fielding their own crowdfunded offer

If your computer password contains the name of your dog, your favorite vacation spot, and an easy-to-remember numerical sequence, then you are breaking some basic rules of password safety.

Just like older generations never thought that the dial phone in the kitchen could be dangerous (think phone scams), today’s kids don’t have a clue how hazardous smartphone apps can really be. They are a godsend to pedophiles, scammers and hackers. And let’s not forget other kids who just want to be cruel bullies.

Parents should have informative discussions with their kids about the various apps out there. And it’s okay to forbid particular apps you aren’t comfortable with. Like Musicly, search “

The nature of risk has evolved in recent years, driven by advances in technology and an increasingly fraught geopolitic climate. In an age of globalization, companies must be aware of all major incidents across the world, as there are very few that will not have at least some kind of impact on larger companies.

Ownership of risk management is, however, often difficult to determine, and people seem unclear who is responsible. The role of the CFO has changed in recent years, and they have become es

Cane

• If you use a cane, take “cane-fu” classes if possible. Yes, it’s a thing.
• A sturdy cane with a strong handle works best.
• Do not assume you can fight with a cane just because you need one to walk.
• Avoid a cane with a hidden knife or sword unless you specifically train to fight with a blade.
• A person’s first instinct with a cane-like device for self-defense is to wield it in a horizontal path as though swinging a baseball bat. This is wrong, as it can easily be seen in progress by the person you’r
