Technology Risk Assessment – Avoiding Crisis |
 | Identity theft, regulatory impairment, inappropriate release of private information, internal sabotage, and a host of other conditions now motivate companies to gain control of a volatile range of threat and risk conditions. The trend is clear: in both courts of law and public opinion, companies will increasingly rely on technology risk assessments to better defend the enterprise against emerging threats – threats from hackers, saboteurs, accidental disclosures and automated identity theft. The strongest motivating factor for assessing technology risk across the enterprise is preventive risk management. Companies now understand that preventing a crisis can be far less costly than recovering from one. Almost as important as prevention, the research indicates companies are responding to regulatory compliance requirements. In an era when identity theft continues to rise and the impact to the target organization can be devastating, and when government privacy statutes mandate complex compliance, preventive risk management is crucial to defending both the enterprise and the brand. This session explores one companys experiences in this area. |
