The most key aspect of being a risk manager is to develop a risk nose.  Everyone is one the receiving end of an avalanche of information and we have to decipher the signals that suggest impending losses are just around the corner.  The hardest to detect is, like the dog that didn't bark, a lack of volatility.  Which is good yes?  Well, ask the investors in the Madoff funds where Bernie sold them income without volatility and they will tell just how well that turned out.
