Computer Fraud & Security · 2002
Risk management is an acknowledged part of everyday business practice, whether it involves entering a new market or deciding to offer a new product or service. This kind of risk-taking is usually balanced against the potential benefits of increased revenue and profits. But there are many more serious risks that threaten businesses closer to home. It is these that need to be closely monitored in order to protect a business’s assets. The types of assets at risk include customer credit card details or confidential employee information.
