What is the IT Risk Execution course about?

IT risk professionals often master frameworks but struggle when it comes to deployment at scale. Ambiguity in control application, misalignment with DevOps cycles, and unclear ownership slow down projects and dilute risk’s strategic impact. The gap isn’t knowledge, it’s execution.
