IT Risk: turning business threats into competitive advantage

A new book has been published by Harvard Business School Publishing. ‘IT Risk: turning business threats into competitive advantage’ is based on research conducted by MIT’s Center for Information Systems Research and Gartner, Inc.

The main premise for the book is that IT has become increasingly central to business success – but many enterprises haven’t adjusted their processes for IT decision making and risk management. The result? IT-risk incidents carry a much higher price tag than they used to.

The book defines four types of IT risk – availability, access, accuracy and agility – and the three disciplines enterprises must master to manage IT risk effectively. It also offers diagnostic tools to measure your company’s strengths in each core discipline – and to help you continuously improve competency and competitive advantage.
