What is digital risk and what does a digital risk professional do?

Digital risk refers to the potential threats and vulnerabilities that organizations face as they adopt digital technologies, such as cyber attacks, data breaches, privacy issues, and technology failures. A digital risk professional identifies, assesses, and manages these risks to protect an organization's digital assets and ensure compliance with regulations. Their responsibilities may include implementing cybersecurity measures, monitoring for emerging threats, conducting risk assessments, and developing response strategies. They work closely with IT, compliance, and business teams to create a secure digital environment. The goal is to balance innovation and technology adoption with effective risk management.
