Enterprise Risk Management is taking the center stage in how companies run their business.

Some of the smart devices that comprise the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) have the capability to help organizations detect risk events, derive crucial risk insights and even take immediate actions–resulting in a real-time, pervasive, dynamic risk management environment.
