 Analyst's Corner
Risk: The “New Black”
by Scott Crawford, CISSP, ISSAP, ISSMP
Senior Analyst, Security and Risk Management Practice
If there is one theme prevalent in the security marketplace today, it’s risk. What compliance was two years ago, risk has become today. Risk has been worked into nearly every product message, is heard frequently in presentations and talks, and has become conspicuous at industry events large and small.
But don’t let the buzz fool you. Risk hype is not just another marketing jag. There are very real reasons why IT vendors and IT professionals alike have begun taking a risk-oriented view of their IT management priorities—and they go well beyond security alone.
