Why pursue a career in IT Risk management?

Risk advisory services have a market size of more than $10 billion, growing at a fast year-on-year rate of about 40-45 per cent. The top 250 companies spend around $30-50 million each on risk-related activities. This kind of market size translates into a great career opportunity in risk management. With no structured and comprehensive programme in India, or even globally, to address the skill set gap, trained risk management professionals will have an edge. Risk management is beyond financial and regulatory risk mitigation: it looks at the overall business environment and encompasses management of a variety of risks across verticals, including information technology. With the recent developments in technology and the increasing digitalization of processes, businesses are facing unprecedented levels of risk from date leaks, hacking, overburdening of the company’s technical resources, etc. In that context, Information Technology Risk Management has emerged as a whole new domain that firms across the world and industries are focusing on. This focus is unlikely to decrease over time; rather, one can expect hiring across these roles to increase substantially over the next few years. A career in IT Risk Management is a great prospect for career stability and perfect utilization of your tech skills.

PGDIRM- Post Graduate Diploma in Information Technology Risk Management is a 1-year full time on campus programme.

Faculty here is a mix of Academic and Industry professionals who bring with them the depth of domain knowledge for delivering a specialized curriculum for this course.
