# [A Systematic Approach to Risk Mitigation](https://www.ostendio.com/news-and-awards/systematic-approach-risk-mitigation)

 Written by [Niamh Bennett](https://www.ostendio.com/news-and-awards/author/niamh-bennett) | Aug 22, 2017 5:35:51 PM

Ostendio CEO, Grant Elliott, was interviewed by [John Gilroy](https://twitter.com/RayGilray) of Federal Tech Talk on[ Federal News Radio ](https://federalnewsradio.com/federal-tech-talk/2017/08/a-systematic-approach-to-risk-mitigation/)to discuss how to manage risk, and why it's so important.

During the interview, Elliot talks about the prevalence of breaches.  In fact, some say that 2017 will have an average of “one health data breach per day.”  When one combines ransomware with healthcare records you get, literally, a life or death situation.

Grant talks about many aspects of risk mitigation with a systematic approach.  This approach is more effective that manually managing all the complexities inherent in the fast-changing world of cybersecurity.
