I often describe the strategic risk management of emerging technology and disruptive business models as a combination of continuity and change. Striking the balance is often difficult in a high-stakes, rapidly changing environment. However, one should find comfort and guidance in the fact that while the tech­nical components change, the principles of risk manage­ment remain the same. The trick is to understand the technology enough and apply the appropriate mitigation strategy to de-risk the solution while striking a balance between business value and the assumption of too much organizational risk.
