Whereas a well-managed IT system is one of the most valuable business assets an organization can detain, the vulnerable technology,improperly implemented, inappropriately managed and monitored, can lead to significant losses of revenue, efficiency, reputation etc. The probability that such an event happens seems to be directly related to the extent and the duration of the use of IT (in other words, if not taking the proper measures, the more sophisticated the technology has become and the longer it has been used in an organization, the higher the probability the organization to undergo the consequences of an IT risk related incident).
