In this episode, Mike Elkins maps a whole‑of‑business blueprint for digital safety that actually reduces risk you can measure. We break down what “holistic” really means in practice: identity as the control plane, data‑centric design, continuous verification, least privilege, segmentation that shrinks blast radius, and automation that removes human bottlenecks. From cloud and SaaS to OT/IoT and third‑party risk, Chase shows how to connect policy, architecture, and operations so security becomes a repeatable system—not a pile of tools.TakeawaysWhy piecemeal controls create “debt‑in‑depth”How to center Zero Trust on identities, not networksPragmatic micro‑segmentation and just‑in‑time accessA simple metric stack for the board (exposure, blast radius, dwell time)How to align GRC with day‑to‑day enforcementNo FUD. No silver bullets. Just the playbook to make “holistic” real.

For the first time in Australia, a long-overdue inquiry into abuse and coercive control within cults and religious groups has been launched. The Victorian inquiry was initiated after reports of coercive behaviour at the Geelong Revival Centre, many of which were revealed by Richard Baker in the LiSTNR podcast Secrets We Keep: Pray Harder. In the series, Rich described the GRC, under the leadership of Pastor Noel Hollins, as one of Australia’s most extreme Pentecostal churches. Former members shared horrific allegations of historical child sex abuse cover-ups, tight control of their relationships, and harsh restrictions placed on the freedoms of women. In this special episode, we wanted to share episode one of Secrets We Keep Pray Harder with you. If you want to binge the rest of the series, click here for episode 2 now. The interviews in this series were recorded during Pastor Noel Hollins leadership of the Geelong Revival Centre. During production, Pastor Noel died. The experiences and allegations raised do not relate to the current leadership of the GRC. Lifeline 13 11 14.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Il y a 20 ans, à pareille date, la GRC menait une vaste perquisition dans les bureaux de Norbourg. Le Québec a appris avec stupéfaction que le patron de cette entreprise et ses complices avaient réussi à flouer 9200 petits épargnants. Plusieurs ont perdu des économies de toute une vie.

Dave Sobel interviews John Harden, the director of strategy and technology evangelism at Auvik, discussing the evolution of SaaS management and its growing adoption in the industry. Since Auvik's acquisition of SaaSlio in 2022, the company has invested significantly in engineering efforts to enhance its SaaS management capabilities. Harden highlights the increasing need for visibility into SaaS applications due to rising cybersecurity threats and the growing importance of AI in business environments. He emphasizes that many organizations are now recognizing the necessity of understanding their SaaS assets, particularly in light of the proliferation of AI tools.The conversation delves into the different ways organizations are consuming AI, with smaller companies typically using AI through SaaS applications, while larger organizations may develop their own models via APIs. Harden explains how Auvik's SaaS management platform provides visibility into both categories, allowing businesses to monitor AI usage and manage potential risks associated with shadow IT. He also discusses the recent release of SaaSOps, which enhances visibility and integrates with popular tools to provide deeper insights into API usage and license management.As organizations begin to shift back to on-premises servers due to the high costs associated with AI workloads, Auvik has responded by introducing server management capabilities. Harden notes that this new feature allows for comprehensive monitoring of on-premises infrastructure, ensuring that businesses can effectively manage their IT assets regardless of where they are hosted. This adaptability is crucial as companies navigate the complexities of their IT environments, whether they are utilizing cloud services or traditional on-premises solutions.Looking ahead, Harden expresses optimism about the growth of compliance and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions, which he believes will foster stronger relationships between managed service providers (MSPs) and their clients. He emphasizes the importance of asset visibility in achieving compliance and cybersecurity goals, as well as in developing AI strategies. By continuing to expand its asset visibility portfolio, Auvik aims to support MSPs in meeting the evolving needs of their customers in a rapidly changing technological landscape.

Cybersecurity & Compliance w/ Paige Hanson of Secure Labs - AZ TRT S06 EP15 (277) 8-17-2025 What We Learned This Week: A cybersecurity breach can cost more than just data—it can damage infrastructure and destroy client confidence. Even smaller companies (50–100 employees) need structured safeguards, compliance, and often outside MSSPs to stay secure. Secure Labs provides a roadmap for companies to meet regulatory standards like HIPAA, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, helping them win bigger clients. AI-driven threats like voice cloning and deepfakes make personal and business digital security more important than ever.

Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) has long been burdened by heavy manual processes, slow assessments, and limited visibility. In this Brand Story episode, Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli are joined by Anders Søborg, Co-Founder of Eve, and Mark Humphrey, who brings two decades of fraud and cybersecurity experience to the team. Together, they unpack how Eve is challenging traditional GRC tools by offering something entirely different: automation with evidence-based intelligence at its core.Anders shares how his experience as Chief Risk Officer and partner at major firms like Ernst & Young and PwC shaped Eve's mission. He describes a world where compliance doesn't have to mean complexity. Eve's AI engine evaluates more than a thousand controls in under 15 minutes—surpassing manual reviews that could take weeks—and goes a step further by offering recommendations, not just red flags.This isn't about replacing people. It's about helping overwhelmed compliance, risk, and audit teams regain control. Mark emphasizes how Eve operates like a true partner, delivering support with no ego and full transparency. Their approach combines deep regulatory knowledge, contextual AI agents trained on real-world frameworks, and a clear respect for data sovereignty and privacy—an essential requirement for global pharma, financial, and consulting clients already relying on the platform.More than a dashboard, Eve acts as an intelligent engine embedded into existing workflows via API, making it a natural complement—not a competitor—to existing GRC platforms. The platform is customizable, evidence-driven, and built with firsthand knowledge of what compliance professionals actually need: clear guidance, real-time answers, and fewer repetitive tasks.The episode leaves listeners with a compelling question: what if your compliance program could coach your team, reduce audit costs, and provide instant visibility—without sacrificing accuracy or control?Learn more about E-V-E GRC: https://itspm.ag/eve-grc-99Note: This story contains promotional content.

In this episode, we sit down with Jim Manico, a longtime industry AppSec Leader, Educator, and Innovator, to discuss enhancing software security in the era of AI.This includes covering recent talks Jim has given about using AI as a force multiplier for software development, the importance of security-centric prompting, and the overall impact of AI on the field of AppSec.We discussed:A recent talk Jim gave where he discussed transforming secure software creation with AI, doing the work of teams of people on his own, and what used to take tens of thousands of hours through the use of agents and various frontier models and offerings.The importance of security-centric prompting and guidance for models to produce secure code and the impact on vulnerability velocity by doing so.The risks of the broader developer community leaning into these tools without adding security-centric prompts and guidance, but the opportunity for prompt libraries and enterprise controls to lead to systemic secure software development within the enterprise.The workforce implications of AI-driven development and the need to upskill to stay relevant (and employable).Where Jim sees opportunity beyond just AppSec when it comes to AI and Cybersecurity, in other areas such as GRC and SecOps as well.

When I last spoke with Gaurav Kapoor five years ago, we were in the thick of a global pandemic. Remote work was still a novelty for many, AI was a distant concept for most businesses, and regulatory frameworks were trying to keep pace with the speed of technological change. Fast forward to today, and the conversation around AI and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) has shifted dramatically. This made it the perfect time for a long-overdue catch-up. In this episode, I welcomed back Gaurav, Vice Chairman and Co-founder of MetricStream, to discuss the changing face of GRC in an AI-driven world. AI has now reached a level of ubiquity that places it alongside electricity and Wi-Fi as a foundational layer of both business and everyday life. But with that integration comes risk, and with risk comes the need for smarter, more adaptive governance. Gaurav shared how AI is no longer just about efficiency gains. It is becoming embedded into the fabric of enterprise risk frameworks, from real-time regulatory monitoring to predictive analytics and risk forecasting. We talked about the impact of the current political climate, including policy shifts following President Trump's return to office and how deregulation narratives are colliding with the complexity of global compliance expectations. This was not just a theoretical discussion. Gaurav broke down real-world use cases that show how large enterprises are navigating everything from redundant compliance testing to emerging threats discovered through AI-driven analysis. He also spoke candidly about the challenges ahead, how companies can fall behind if they wait too long to modernize their frameworks, and what is at stake when they fail to build trust into their AI systems. So how do you evolve GRC in an age where the pace of change is relentless? What role does AI really play in risk leadership today? And how can companies move from reactive to proactive without losing control? Join me as we explore the next chapter of GRC with one of its leading voices.
