We hear about it happening all the time. An organisation that seems to have a robust approach to protecting its systems and data is compromised by cyber criminals using a third-party vendor as the attack vector.
My guest on this episode is Paul Valente, CEO and co-founder of VISO Trust, an AI powered third party risk platform that aids IT Security teams access risk intelligence on an organisations third party vendors.

He also has over 20 years of experience in technology, financial services, e-commerce and information security innovation. What's particularly great is that Paul speaks plain English when discussing information security!

MRM Podcast Chat: Risk Management Frameworks
In this chat, Brett and Anthony discuss the sometimes-confusing topic of Risk Management Frameworks. They have seen organisations where the RMF is a single document of hundreds of pages - so big in fact that it is practically useless to employees looking for guidance.
The ABM Risk approach to RMF's is different - pragmatic, practical and importantly, bespoke to the needs of the organisation.
You also hear, if you didn't already know, that paper and PDF based RMF's are history.
Enjoy the chat!

MRM Podcast chat - Episode 66 Critical Controls
In today's chat, Brett and I discuss the importance of controls in risk management - and specifically, critical controls.
These are the controls that if missing or ineffective, will almost certainly lead to the risk eventuating, or if a mitigating control, the consequences being worse than they needed to be.
Key to having a great control environment is providing assurance that the controls are in place and effective - for some critical controls, such as the Business Resilience arrangements for the organisation, this is best tested using facilitated exercises / scenarios.
