As enterprises embrace the opportunities enabled by digital transformation, they also expose themselves to newer and deadlier threats.

Cloud infrastructure, SaaS, explosive growth of mobile computing power, IoT and other emerging technologies are drastically changing the technology footprint and security culture for most businesses. Information security organizations, long struggling to keep up with the pace of change are now firmly falling behind.

To address these challenges effectively, InfoSec organizations have to re-evaluate how they approach cyber security. It is critical to develop a clear understanding of the risks associated with the ever-changing technology infrastructure, and their potential to impact business adversely. By quantifying the technology risk associated with business entities, security professionals can take the most effective decisions to harden a vital business unit or secure a mission-critical business process. Effective cyber risk management can help organizations achieve these goals.

Two critical components of any cyber risk management program are IT Asset Management (ITAM) – which serves as the source of invaluable asset information, and business and technology context – and IT Service Management (ITSM) – which serves as the engine for remediation and task management.
