Switching from traditional risk analysis methods like ordinal lists or red-yellow-and-green charts to more modern approaches like risk quantification requires a paradigm shift in how you think about measuring risk, but the increased accuracy, specificity, and reliability you’ll gain by doing so pays dividends.On this episode of GRC &amp; Me, Netflix’s Tony Martin-Vegue join LogicGate’s Chris Clarke to explore the best ways to navigate this transition, how to learn and leverage popular risk quantification frameworks like Open FAIR, and why you shouldn’t completely throw your colored charts out the window just yet.

This approach can generate a resentful — even toxic — risk culture.
