ISAlliance Sponsors have the opportunity to participate in this and other quarterly forums in Software Assurance and Privacy.

The IT Risk Management forum is a ‘lunchtime’ work group to address ISAlliance member interests and advance IT Research & Development. Moreover, the forum is a useful place to interact with experts on IT Risk issues. The topics are addressed through a multidisciplinary framework involving corporate subject matter experts and  Carnegie Mellon University staff and researchers.
