ABSTRACT
Organizations have encountered risks of all types dealing with information systems (IS) and information technology (IT). However, managing risks in the COVID-19 environment is not something organizations have encountered in the past, at least to the extent. This paper identifies a number of IS/IT-related risks focusing on the current coronavirus environment. Suggestions are provided for managers on how they might recognize and minimize these risks.
