  摘要：The likelihood that the firm's information systems are insufficiently protected against certain kinds of damage or loss is known as systems risk. Risk can be managed or reduced when managers are aware of the full range of controls available and implement the most effective controls. Unfortunately, they often lack this knowledge, and their subsequent actions to cope with systems risk are less effective than they might otherwise be. This is one viable explanation for why losses from computer abu...
