Consultancies are in a feeding frenzy, throwing gasoline on the fires of RISK. A couple of data breaches goes a long way toward fueling the risk-mitigation industry. The most interesting observation about the bravado is that it is RARELY supported by fact BEYOND a survey conducted by the very industry fearmongers. The mere mention of a potential risk has the C-Suite running to smooth talking, powerpoint wizards. After all, companies the likes of D&B are watchdogs of financial health…NOT. Save your money, sell more product/services and take a pragmatic approach to risk.
