The Operationally Critical Threat, Asset, and Vulnerability Evaluation (OCTAVE) Allegro™ method developed by the Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh USA.
The OCTAVE Allegro™ approach provides the Public and Private Sectors a comprehensive methodology that focuses on information assets in their operational context. Cyber risks are identified and analysed based on where they originate, at the points where information is stored, transported, and processed. By focusing on operational risks to information assets, participants learn to view risk assessment in the context of the Public and Private Sectors strategic objectives and risk tolerances.
