"It is clear that the ownership lies on the organizations to build resilience and a robust risk management program with continuous monitoring and testing the controls," he says.
In this interview with Information Security Media Group, Christy discusses:
- Moving away from implicit trust and validating trust of user access and control;
- Tackling third-party risks;
- Managing the endpoints with a central monitoring mechanism.
Christy is a cybersecurity adoption evangelist providing vital guidance to improve cyber defenses while raising cybersecurity awareness to improve risk reduction and compliance.
