Security & Risk Management Research

Security remains one of the most dynamic aspects of IT. The noisy viruses and worms of the past are increasingly being overtaken by a new generation of sophisticated and silent threats. These new threats are often driven by tangible gain. Organized crime now plays a leading role, and in some cases, threats may even be sponsored by foreign governments. Compliance requirements increase demands on the effective management of these issues. All of these factors pose substantial challenges for IT and security managers alike. When the threat has the advantage, how can the enterprise make the most of limited resources to manage risk effectively?
