CRISQ Topic area overview Cyber risk management often feels complex due to the variety of frameworks, terminology, and implementation approaches in circulation. This article serves as a study aid for the Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control (CRISC) certification by breaking down key concepts within a simplified, practical risk management framework. At a high level, effective risk management can be distilled into four core functions: Risk Governance – Define the m

Security Copilot Product Testing These concepts are presented to establish a foundation for evaluating what Security Copilot can do today, the effort required to implement those capabilities, and how that may evolve with future enhancements. For instance, the transition from the Planning phase to Data Search may not yet be fully dynamic, particularly when the data required for analysis originates outside the Microsoft ecosystem. Microsoft has long incorporated guided response
