IT has become increasingly central to business success — but many enterprises haven't adjusted their processes for IT decision making and risk management.
In this timely and authoritative book, authors George Westerman, Research Scientist in the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Richard Hunter, Group VP and Gartner Fellow, define four types of IT risk: availability, access, accuracy, and agility.
Citing numerous company examples, the authors introduce three disciplines that enterprises must master to manage IT risk effectively:
- A solid foundation of IT assets, people, and supporting processes and controls that enable executives to manage the right risks in the right order.
- A well-designed risk governance process — including oversight by high-level executives — that allows companies to identify, prioritize, and track risks.
- A risk-aware culture, nurtured from the top, which attunes people to the causes and solutions for IT risks and creates increased vigilance across the organization.
