Correct answer is provided by Mr. Muhammed. Cyper attack is currently the most serious risk, and now many cases happend, thouthands of credit cards data of customers are obtained by hackers. We hope all companies utilise the three lines of defence including the BODs, internal and external audit, executive management to follow the risk assessment for IT environment and monitoring IT controls.

The most important aspect here is end users awareness of these risks.

cyber attack is the most critical risk in infromation technology sectors, and improper use of technology . inorder to avoid risk,  companies should have a hard copy of each document and implement workflow control system i.e by assigning admistrative person for that particular dept. on time internal and exteranl audit on due time should carry out.
