RSA on Feb 7 2007

The day started off with a session around metrics. So they talked about Risk Circumvention. Interesting concept, but wonder how often that happens! Even if it happens, why would anyone want to re-brand "Risk Elimination" to "Risk Circumvention"? It almost sounds like you are trying to avoid dealing with risk!

The highlight was when Oracle's Larry Ellison did not show up for a key note due to flu. It was almost sad to watch everyone walk out of the key note delivered by Larry's VP of IAM.

In general, I have seen a handful of products around risk management and reporting, but yet to find something thats specific around defining, monitoring and reporting metrics in a proper manner!
