Managing risk microsite
"Managing risk has become an increasingly important part of organizational strategy. Financial risks are under focus as the economic crunch bites, and the continuing public and private sector data loss scandals have heightened the importance of information security.
Computing, in association with BT, has put together a programme of events, articles and special reports to help guide IT leaders through the three key aspects of risk management - people, process and technology.
This special web site brings together all our features, case studies, white papers, videos and web seminars into a definitive source of information on the challenges of managing risk."
