Governance, Risk, & Compliance…so What? – Part 2 – Allan Alford – SCW #94
Join us on this episode of SCW for a general discussion about how to do this whole security/compliance thing better; how compliance really needs to come first; how it's all risk-based or should be RGC not GRC; legal and privacy issues/focus - and how they help or hinder the cause; other factors like burnout/gatekeeping/etc. that all contribute to our industry being overly focused/reliant on technology and don't handle the people/process part very well.
Announcements
In an overabundance of caution, we have decided to flip this year’s SW Unlocked to a virtual format. The safety of our listeners and hosts is our number one priority. We will miss seeing you all in person, but we hope you can still join us at Security Weekly Unlocked Virtual! The event will now take place on Thursday, Dec 16 from 9am-6pm ET. You can still register for free at https://securityweekly.com/unlocked.
