About this learning event

As technology continues to advance and the public sector becomes more digitalized, public institutions face new risks that need to be identified and effectively managed. We will explore the principles of IT risk management, define the roles and responsibilities of IT risk managers, and explore how to cultivate and communicate about the IT risk awareness culture in public institutions. We will also examine the relationship between risk management and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) reporting.
