According to new global study of senior risk executives carried out by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), organizations globally believe that they are on top of traditional risks, but emerging risks are causing major concerns.

Cloud Computing is one of the key emerging technologies. Being better at managing emerging technologies and corresponding risks can be crucial in gaining strategic competitive advantage.
