Risk management and fraud prevention are the basis for ensuring organizational resilience.
Organizations invest considerable resources in advanced security solutions in order to guard themselves against external threats, while the most destructive and severe attacks often come specifically through factors within the organization.  To reduce the risks, companies must invest in a prevention process beginning with the initial stages of employee recruitment, correct management of periodic review, as well as monitoring unusual behavior within the organization’s information system.
