Transforming Cyber Risk/Compliance Through Automation – Padraic O’Reilly – BSW #200
How are CISOs of the Global 500 automating risk and compliance assessments by 90%, saving millions of dollars per year, and creating a unified strategy around cyber risk in the wake of Digital Transformation? Those on the cutting-edge of risk and compliance see a massive opportunity to ingest the telemetry coming from the security tech stack to bring a new level of automation to control compliance and risk management across all frameworks and standards.
In this segment, we discuss how COVID-19 and rapid Digitalization have pushed risk and compliance teams to innovate internally, and how they’re doing so with real-life examples. How is it even possible to eliminate nearly all manual effort around IT GRC? What is the latest strategy behind cross-walking frameworks and dynamically lighting up controls in an environment?
You’ll learn how some of the largest organizations in the world are proving compliance in real-time, empowering their teams to manage even the most unprecedented risks, and how risk and compliance programs get a clear view into risk likelihood, impact, solution-cost modeling and more. Listen in if you too are working to transform your cyber risk and compliance program to support Digital Transformation.

Padraic O’Reilly is Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder at CyberSaint, where he leads product innovation and development. His experience as a Harvard-trained economist, IT risk and compliance consultant, and his rapid exposure to Cybersecurity led him to seek out CISOs, CIOs, and Boards of Directors at global organizations to pursue the answer to the question – how can cyber be managed, measured, and understood like any other business function? Padraic’s current activity spans working directly with organizations from public agencies to private companies across the globe to understand how to measure cyber risk, especially amidst the global pandemic which is fueling massive digital transformation projects around the world. Padraic was a key member of the group providing feedback on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework during its development, and is an expert in regulatory standards both in security and privacy, including the NIST Risk Management and NIST Privacy Frameworks. An expert in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and economic modeling, Padraic works with members of the Global 500 to research and deploy risk quantification, risk intelligence gathering, and risk reporting and communication strategies. Padraic also holds a patent entitled, “System And Method for Monitoring And Grading A Cybersecurity Framework” which has inspired much of his work on cohesive IT and cyber risk management approaches.
