Abstract
Management support is a pre-requisite for any IT security team to survive, evolve and provide value to the organisation. This chapter explains why IT security teams need line, but most importantly, senior management sponsorship, understanding and backing. We link IT security with the concept of information security and operational risk management and we introduce an overarching management initiative in the organisation, enterprise risk management (ERM). We proceed to locate the role of IT security within operational risk management and ERM through a management model presented in this chapter: The “risk house” model.
