The ITSPmagazine Podcast

In this Their Story podcast episode, Michael Parisi and Sean Martin dig into the challenges and implications of compliance, cybersecurity, and the risk of commoditization in the industry. The conversation focuses on the importance of maintaining a strong security posture, the role of stakeholders, and the need for education among non-technical individuals, such as CFOs and board members, to prevent a race to the bottom in cybersecurity.Parisi's main concern is that compliance has become an outcome rather than a mission, and that cybersecurity could follow a similar path if we're not careful. With an increasing number of organizations turning to managed security service providers (MSSPs), the risk of commoditization looms large. Parisi and Martin also discuss the challenges posed by the "fog of more" in the cybersecurity landscape, with an overwhelming number of security solutions available and a potential race to the bottom in pricing.The conversation shifts to the role of stakeholders in preventing this downward spiral. Parisi argues that stakeholders have the power to save the industry, but only if they care enough and are adequately educated about the importance of cybersecurity. He believes that educating boards and business owners is crucial to creating more stakeholders with a genuine stake in the game.Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more: https://www.itspmagazine.com/their-infosec-storyGuest:Michael Parisi, Head of Client Acquisition at Schellman [@Schellman]On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-parisi-4009b2261/ResourcesLearn more about Schellman and their offering: https://itspm.ag/schellman9a6vFor more RSAC Conference Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2023-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-coverageAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this Their Story podcast episode, Paul Valente and Russell Sherman discuss the challenges faced by both small and large enterprises when sharing data and managing risk with business partners and third party providers. They share their experiences working together in the past where they needed to balance addressing security concerns with closing deals. The duo highlights the importance of proper scoping and understanding the context of a business relationship to help assess inherent risks.Paul and Russell also share details of their third party risk management platform which allows users to quickly scope and define attributes of a business relationship, providing an inherent risk rating. The platform uses over 800 data points and references over 25 frameworks, streamlining the process for both the assessor and the assessed. By utilizing natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI), the platform is able to analyze collected data, automate manual aspects of the review process, and provide valuable insights to help make better, faster, and more contextually-relevant informed decisions.The pair further emphasize the importance of reducing friction in the assessment process, which led them to focus on eliminating the need for lengthy questionnaires and instead utilizing existing artifacts to assess a company's security posture. This innovative approach reduces the burden on both the assessor and the assessed while providing a more accurate and comprehensive view of a company's cyber risk.Overall, this episode provides valuable insights into how technology is transforming the traditional third-party cyber risk assessment process and paving the way for a more efficient and secure future.Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more: https://www.itspmagazine.com/their-infosec-storyGuests:Paul Valente, CEO & Co-founder at VISO TRUST [@VISOTrust]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauldvalente/Russell Sherman, Co-founder and CTO at VISO TRUST [@VISOTrust]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/neverenoughinfo/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/russellshermanResourcesLearn more about VISO TRUST and their offering: https://itspm.ag/visotrust8x4iFor more RSAC Conference Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2023-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-coverageAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Learn how the two are coming together under the Identity Security Alliance.Online identities depend on three elements—carbon based (who we are), machine-based (what we’re using), and artificial identity (such as username and passwords), says Jeff Reich, executive director of the Identity-Defined Security Alliance (IDSA). In this podcast, we discuss why it’s taken so long for identity and security to come together and he describes how the IDSA is leading the charge on this important pillar of security. We also discuss the effectiveness of the National Cybersecurity Strategy objective 4.5 to support development of a “Digital Identity Ecosystem,” and how that might play out in the future.____________________________Resources ____________________________To see and hear more of the Cy Beat Podcast with Deb Radcliff content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/cy-beat-podcast-with-deb-radcliffAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Mayuresh Ektare, an expert in risk management and SVP of Product Management at Brinqa, joins Sean Martin for a quick dive into the world of centralizing risk management frameworks. Ektare explains that the magic sauce isn't just bringing the data together, but stitching it together to create a unified understanding of an organization's attack surface. By overlaying business context, customers can prioritize and act upon the right set of findings in a timely fashion. Martin and Ektare discuss the challenges faced by customers in finding a centralized repository for business context, with many relying on tribal knowledge or CMDB records.Ektare introduces the concept of a Risk Operations Center (ROC), which allows organizations to orchestrate the risk lifecycle and proactively reduce exposure. Comparing it to a Security Operations Center (SOC), he highlights the importance of extending vulnerability management programs to encompass cloud infrastructure and application security posture management. The conversation also touches on the challenges of managing false positives and distilling a vast amount of findings into actionable items. By overlaying business context and understanding the impact of vulnerabilities on their organization, customers can fine-tune security scores, prioritize effectively, and respond accordingly.Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more: https://www.itspmagazine.com/their-infosec-storyGuest:Mayuresh Ektare, SVP of Product Management at Brinqa [@brinqa]On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/mektare/ResourcesLearn more about Brinqa and their offering: https://itspm.ag/brinqa-pmdpFor more RSAC Conference Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2023-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-coverageAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ben's idea was to get decision makers together to discuss "Managing Security Risks When There Are Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen." More importantly, the idea is to talk about how managing security is challenging in part due to the fact that there isn't really one expert, product, service, or leader who knows all there is about security, yet we have to protect ourselves from a variety of risks anyway. We want to get into how to deal with these management and leadership challenges and hopefully get into strategy.The panel will cover:Prioritizing security risks from different security disciplines.Finding the right talent to handle these diverse risks and related expertise?What kinds of security management tasks make sense to outsource in order to achieve better results, and which require in house experts?How do you deal with the changes in how we view managing security and where do you think this is going in the future?____________________________For more RSAC Conference Coverage podcast and video episodes visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2023-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-coverageAre you interested in telling your story in connection with RSA Conference by sponsoring our coverage?👉 https://itspm.ag/rsac23spAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorshipsBe sure to share and subscribe!
