Jim Reavis of RiskBloggers.com wrote a recent article titled "Ten Ascendant Trends for the Next Chapter of Information Security."

In his article he identified Enterprise Risk Management as one of the top ten trends:

"Enterprise Risk Management – It all comes down to understanding risk. One thing I noticed after Hurricane Katrina is that the Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery topics came up in increasing numbers at the information security conferences I attended, with Katrina referenced repeatedly. There are a lot of problems that can endanger an organization’s reputation and viability, hackers are but one, and for that reason we should be taking a comprehensive approach at risk-based decision making. A CISO with career growth aspirations should be looking at becoming the organization’s Chief Risk Officer. If your company doesn’t have one, you should be evangelizing about the need for one."

Archer's product team and Risk Management expert David Walter identified this trend and have worked diligently to see that the Risk Management 2.0 solution was ready for the Archer SmartSuite Framework version 4.0 release. As 4.0 was being developed the central theme continued to revolve around Enterprise Risk and incorporating the feedback from our clients.
