Presentation Abstract

It is hard to imagine a company today who doesn't use a piece of software in day-to-day operations. But what happens if that piece of software that is found in a car's braking system fails due to a faulty line of code? What happens if a line of code is faulty in an oil refinery and production is delayed a day? Software risks can harm a company's reputation and revenue. Today's business leaders need to realize the full effect software risks can have and how they can be prevented.
