==EUC risk management software==
Many companies elect to leverage software to manage their EUC risks. Software can provide many benefits to organizations, including:
 
* automation of risk management activities;
* reduction in manual effort required for manual controls;
* version controls for EUC applications;
* change controls for EUC applications.
 
Examples of EUC risk software include:
