Former New York City mayor Rudolph Giuliani's consulting firm and accounting firm Ernst & Young joined forces yesterday to help companies guard against computer hackers.They unveiled their so-called Advance Security Centres in Ernst & Young's offices in New York's Times Square and in Houston, where staff members with military and corporate security backgrounds will toil away on computers to protect clients.Giuliani, who opened Giuliani Partners after leaving office last year, positioned the computer protection services as a significant corporate governance initiative."The days of neglecting digital risk are over and the realisation has set in that digital risk has a direct effect on an organisation's profitability as well as business objectives, stakeholder confidence and brand," he said in a statement.Giuliani developed a reputation as something of a security guru by overseeing a sharp reduction in crime during his tenure as mayor and his demeanour and leadership in the aftermath of the 11 September 2001 attacks that brought down New York's World Trade Centre.
