As CSO/CISO we often fail to quantify or qualify risk from insiders (employees and contractors) before a breach or compromise occurs.We take 1 of 2 approaches - Scare the #!*& out of every employee by implementing a draconian surveillance state program on all corporate assets or we use tools to identify risk behaviors and work to address them quickly while avoiding interruption to our employees doing their best work.Our guest this week is Joe Payne, CEO of Code 42. We have a conversation around ways businesses can effectively monitor corporate assets without obstructing productive employees. We also share a few stories of how we as security professionals can help share insight into what is seemingly harmless behavior, but ultimately becomes significantly risky action taken against an employer simply by copying information on your way out.This episode is not sponsored by Code 42.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/somethingsomethingcyber)
