Identity Talks Episode Four: Talking Security with Greg Van Der Gaast
Welcome to Identity Talks, the podcast where we discuss all things identity, access management, and cyber security.
Join our host, Amy Stokes-Waters as she discusses information security from a user-based standpoint with a very special guest from The University of Salford.
In this episode, we’re in conversation with Greg Van Der Gaast, Salford University’s newly appointed Head of Information Security. This week we’re asking: are people really the weakest link in the security chain? Greg certainly has a lot of opinions on the topic, and with his 20+ years of infosec experience, his radically different approach to delivery and management, and his passion for securing systems, we’re more than happy to sit down with him for a chat.
We’re delving a little deeper into the unanticipated causes of a security breach, and in this episode we’ll be discussing where the responsibility for upskilling and managing users really lies. We know that users tend to get a bad rep when it comes to security, as human error is vastly considered to be the leading cause for a data breach, but if your workforce isn’t properly trained, where does the fault really lie?
This week, we’re offering you unique insights from an experienced infosec expert who likes to do things a little differently. There are ways to improve your system security without huge financial cost to your business – it’s all about going back to basics, which we discuss at length in this episode.. This week, you’ll also get an inside look into how security departments function as part of a large organisation, the benefits of building relationships with everyone, and how implementing the latest tech isn’t always the answer - gasp!
