NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's 
consulting firm and accounting firm Ernst & Young joined forces 
Thursday to help companies guard against computer hackers. 

The firms unveiled what they called the Advance Security Centers 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 realization has 
set in that digital risk has a direct effect on an organization'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 demeanor and leadership in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, 
attacks that brought down New York's World Trade Center.
