The organization telling us their story today is CyberSaint

Technology changes. Threats change. Governance changes. Risk models change. Compliance requirements change. Has your CISO role changed?

The concept of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) has been around since the mid-2000s. GRC continues to change, as do business models, the technologies that run the business, and the cyber threats that threaten to bring it to a screeching halt.

Of course, the role of the CISO has also changed, but has it kept up with the times? The function must understand not only the inner-workings of the technology that the company uses but also the threats that introduce risk to the environment.

Equally important is the need to operationalize these in the context of business. This isn’t anything new, necessarily, but it does become a tremendous challenge when you consider the breadth, depth, and scale of all of these combined. And, when all of this is connected, the complexity also increases, bringing with it a need to reduce scope and complexity whenever possible as well as giving security personnel the tools, information, and automation they need to keep up as well.

Listen to the CyberSaint story to hear how they identified this problem and have been working diligently to help CISOs overcome the challenges they face.
