Episode Summary

In the of our two-part podcast episode, we're joined by Chris Strand, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at Cybersixgill. Leveraging his extensive background as a former security auditor, Chris imparts invaluable insights into the intersection between Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) and Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI).

Drawing a parallel to dental check-ups, Chris emphasizes GRC's significance in maintaining comprehensive cyber hygiene. No one jumps for joy at the prospect of an audit, much like visiting the dentist's office, but it's a crucial task that organizations must undertake. The key, according to Chris, is to make the audit process as smooth and painless as possible, akin to a quick dental check-up rather than a time-consuming root canal.

Chris emphasizes the pivotal role of attack surface management and threat intelligence, particularly vulnerability exploit intelligence. These practices not only ensure compliance with cybersecurity mandates but also help organizations identify areas that need protection and bridge security gaps.
