Session I (1 pm - 2:30 pm) - Enabling the Risk Management Function Through GRC Technology

Michael Stanziale, Senior Manager, Dan Casciano, Principal, Brian Stowe, Manager & Matt Sulkey, Manager - Ernst & Young



Summary: The objective is to provide members with insight into the way organizations have invested in and integrated technology to assist in managing IT risk processes across the enterprise in an effort to address business risks, align to business objectives, achieve key goals, create efficiencies and reduce the overall cost of IT risk management.  Ultimately you'll learn how these people, process and technology improvements provide a holistic view of risk across the organization.

Today's IT risk management function has become increasingly complex.  Organizations tend to manage risk in silos, increasing costs and diminishing value, which in turn has a negative impact on business performance.  In fact, 73% of companies report seven or more risk functions - all of which operate as individual business units.  In addition to more effectively aligning people and processes, technology is a key component in realizing the value of an effective IT risk management process.

We will share with you what we are hearing in the market related to IT Risk Management and what companies are doing to align IT risk with the overall enterprise.  Finally, we will explore several of the leading technologies in the market that can be used to enable various aspects of IT Risk Management.
