“Digital risk sends chills down the spines of corporate executives…” more >Digital risk sends chills down the spines of corporate executives—whether it’s the CEO, COO, CMO, CIO or others. Executives know they need a solution and fear the consequences from unmanaged risk, but don’t know what to do. What’s needed is best practices, benchmarking, and methodologies. The DRM Institute offers a clear path for bringing this new insight and knowledge to business owners and risk management professionals.
Corporate executives, who have the most to lose, are overwhelmed by the technical nature of the problem. Business executives need a safe place where they can discuss these issues in an open, informed forum.

Business executives and board members realize that these new digital risks need to be managed.
The challenge now is how to understand digital risk in true business terms and where best in the organization to address it – instead of it being treated simply as another set of technology issues for IT Security to handle.
The DRM Institute provides a needed forum for the business executives, risk officers and CISOs to collaborate on developing new approaches to identifying, quantifying and managing digital business risk.

I look forward to collaborating with the DRMI and help create a set of standard DRM knowledge and best practices.

Building a business case for IT security is shifting towards Digital Risk Management – the ability to identify and prioritize vulnerabilities within an organization. IT security and business leaders are increasingly focused on understanding these vulnerabilities and consequences as they relate to critical revenue and customer facing business services.
The DRM Institute, the first of its kind, provides a needed forum for IT and business leaders to collaborate on new approaches and solutions.
