Eight - Compare and Contrast on NIST 800-30 and OCTAVE methodologies

This assignment is to review the OCTAVE (Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation) methodology. Prepare a brief presentation that compares and contrasts OCTAVE with NIST's Risk Management Guide for Information Technology Systems(800-30). As an option, you may compare OCTAVE with both 800-30 and the IAM. Post the document to your web site using a methodology similar to the presentations that we have done previously.

Some useful links: Here is a link to the "Introduction to the OCTAVE Approach". This is a brief overview of the Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evalaution (OCTAVE ) approach for managing information security risks.
