of Managing Risks and Exposures, Risks are part of every business and risk management, corporate security initiatives and business continuity/disaster recovery efforts are realistic approaches to identify, remove or mitigate them by taking a more comprehensive and pro-active view of operational risk in an organization. These processes can not only support the taking of strategic risks but can also help avoid risks that are too high in relation to the potential benefit. They are also tools for the aligning an organization's strategy, operating and business plans, processes, policies and people in order to manage risk. Whether risk management, corporate
security initiatives or business continuity/disaster recovery
efforts, managing risks on an enterprise-wide basis has

that continuously identifies, assesses and manages risks.
This brings confidence and better informed decisions at
