In this episode, Host Ron Eddings enjoys a reprieve from the hectic RSA conference with guest Paul Valente, CEO of VISO Trust. Paul discusses how he used his extensive experience as a CISO to solve a huge pain point he was experiencing with third party risk management (TPRM) and how it prompted him and a colleague to start their own company to create the solution they had been wishing for.

However, nothing could be more exciting than the ways AI has expanded the potential for TPRM to change security outcomes and allow the security sector to drop the ‘department of no’ branding for good. Tune in to hear the whole story!
