SIRAcon ‘25 is set to take place September 9th-11th at the Boston Federal Reserve. This year's theme, "From Zero to Quant to ERM," highlights the evolving landscape of risk analysis. Building on its strong foundation in cyber risk quantification, this year's conference expands its focus to include broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) practices. Attendees can expect practical insights, hands-on guidance, and strategic frameworks to improve risk measurement across the enterprise.

Presentations this year will center around several possible topics:

• Risk Decision Support

• Measurement Tips, Tricks, and Tools

• Decision Science, Behavioral Science, and Data Science

• AI in Quantitative Risk Measurement

• Risk Measurement Outside of Cyber

• Control Effectiveness

Risk Decision Support

Risk quantification can guide strategic decision-making. Presenters will share methods for integrating risk data into prioritization and resource allocation processes, ensuring that organizations make informed decisions backed by quantified insights. Expect sessions that explore techniques like financial impact modeling, showcasing how risk quantification can improve outcome predictions and help leadership make data-driven decisions.

Measurement Tips, Tricks, and Tools

Practitioners looking to improve their risk measurement processes need actionable strategies for enhancing data collection, analysis, and visualization. Expect sessions that will provide practical techniques for streamlining risk quantification efforts, ensuring practitioners can deliver clear, meaningful insights that resonate with stakeholders.

Decision Science, Behavioral Science, and Data Science

Effective risk management requires more than just data – it demands an understanding of how people interpret and act on that data. By applying behavioral science principles, risk professionals can enhance their ability to communicate insights, drive change, and improve outcomes. Expect sessions that delve into psychology, cognitive biases, and data modeling to help attendees improve decision-making under uncertainty. 

AI in Quantitative Risk Measurement

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are revolutionizing risk quantification. Leveraging AI requires best practices to improve accuracy, efficiency, and insight in risk models. Expect sessions that offer practical applications of AI for forecasting, automation, and enhancing decision support capabilities.

Risk Measurement Outside of Cyber

Risk quantification isn't limited to cybersecurity. Risk quantification techniques can be applied to broader domains, such as supply chain risk, financial risk, and environmental risk. Expect sessions that provide strategies for expanding risk frameworks to align with enterprise-wide objectives and improve resilience.

Control Effectiveness

Ensuring that controls perform as intended is crucial for mitigating risk. Practitioners require practical strategies for assessing control performance, identifying gaps, and measuring control effectiveness. Expect sessions that provide frameworks for improving control designs, tracking key metrics, and ensuring alignment with organizational risk objectives.
