Automating compliance controls refers to the use of technology to manage and monitor compliance with regulations and laws. 

The purpose of automating compliance controls is to ensure that organizations meet their obligations in a consistent and efficient manner, while reducing the risk of non-compliance.

Automating these controls can provide significant benefits to organizations. It can help to reduce the risk of non-compliance, increase efficiency and consistency, and save time and resources. 

However, it’s essential that automation should not be seen as a replacement for human oversight.

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Richard Stiennon speaks to Kayne McGladrey, Field CISO at Hyperproof to explore:

• Automating compliance controls vs SOAR automation 
• Helping CISOs
• Can one master set of controls cover multiple frameworks

Managing third-party risk has become an increasingly important concern for enterprises as the use of third-party vendors and partners continues to grow in the business world.

In the wake of Uber’s second third-party breach from vendor Teqtivity in December, resulting in a data dump of almost 80,000 Uber employees’ personal information, serious questions needed to be asked about what companies should be doing differently. 

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to Paul Valente, CEO at VISO Trust, to explore:

• Facing security challenges with third-party vendors
• Positioning third-party risk to CXOs
• Assessing third-party risk and how to automate this process

Data is the backbone of any successful business, and having a 360-degree view of it is crucial to understand the key metrics and drivers of the organization. 

By collecting, processing, and analyzing data from various sources such as customer interactions, financial transactions, and employee performance, your business can gain valuable insights into its operations. 

This 360-degree view of the business data will allow your company to take a data-driven approach to decision-making, leading to better results and improved performance.

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Susan Walsh speaks to Dan Everett, VP of Product and Solution Marketing at Informatica about:

• Connecting different types of data 
• Collecting, analysing and storing data while complying with regulations
• Business-wide observability challenges

Data ethics. The ever-changing landscape of how people perceive their personal data - and how companies use it - has been the subject of debate as data collection becomes more and more commonplace. 

With US politics heading for data protection laws that could rival the severity of GDPR and consumers more aware than ever of how much their data is worth, what trends will we see arise in the next 12 months on an enterprise level?

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to Zaira Pirzada, Security and Risk Management Advisor at Lionfish Tech Advisors, and we’re here to talk about:

• The average person's approach to their data safety and security
• Modern events and how they’re shaping companies’ data decisions
• Data ethics in 2023 and beyond

Data observability refers to the ability to collect, measure, and analyse data from various sources in order to understand the current state and behaviour of a system.

This includes monitoring the system's performance, availability, and errors, as well as identifying patterns and anomalies in the data. 

By implementing data observability, organisations can gain insights into their systems and make data-driven decisions to improve performance, optimize resources, and reduce costs. Common tools used for data observability include logging, metrics, tracing, and alerting. 

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst Christina Stathopoulos speaks to Lior Gavish, Co-Founder and CTO at Monte Carlo, to discuss:

Getting started with data observability

Observability trends for 2023

How to implement and common challenges

Email security is vitally important for modern companies, with 95% using email as their main communication tool and 80% using email for sensitive data transfers. 

But is this a mistake? Has email security fallen behind compared to other methods of communication? And what’s the alternative?

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to Adam Low, CTO at Zivver, as they explore:

• Progressive digital security
• Is email the worst way to transfer sensitive data?
• The role of security awareness training

Digital forensics have transformed crime prevention and the handling of cases permanently. 

With over 5,000 British police officers able to work cases remotely and upload sensitive evidence directly to the cloud, forensic investigations that could have taken days or even weeks to resolve can now be dealt with instantaneously. 

So how have strides in technology led to clearing case backlogs, securing faster convictions for violent criminals and bringing faster closure to victims and their families?

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to West Midlands Police’s Detective John Price and Jon Cook, International Training Instructor at Exterro, about:

• Biggest challenges with digital forensics within the UK police force
• Moving digital forensics into the cloud
• The impact of FTK implementation

Cloud-native observability is a practice of rapidly detecting and remediating issues in complex and distributed systems.

Observability of cloud-native environments is important because it helps to ensure that these applications and infrastructure are running smoothly and effectively. To achieve this, enterprises typically use a combination of tools to ensure critical systems are highly reliable and performant

• Cloud-native observability in 2023
• Helping with employee burnout and retention
• Cost issues with legacy tools and how Chronosphere can help­ 

Cyber warfare has changed cybersecurity forever. 

Rising tensions across the world have seen multiple state-sponsored attacks hit states like Ukraine, China and the US. With global superpowers spending millions on their cyberdefence strategies, are there any lessons that the enterprise can take away?

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to Jeremy Strozer, Advisor at Lionfish Tech Advisors about:

• Cybersecurity’s role in modern warfare 
• Strategic cyber intelligence 
• The biggest cybersecurity challenge of 2023 

Predictive data intelligence is the use of data, AI-driven algorithms, and machine learning techniques to quickly connect data consumers with the most relevant data they need to drive their business initiatives and deliver greater value.

The goal of predictive analytics is to go beyond simply describing data to enable data consumers to accelerate the next-best actions to take for more effective decision making. For example, a retailer can understand their most relevant and high-quality data sets to better forecast consumer demand for a product, or a financial institution may identify the most accurate, complete customer data used to fuel analytics that help identify the likelihood of default on a loan.

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Analyst John Santaferraro speaks to Informatica’s Ian Stahl, Senior Director of Product Management and Chris Phillips, VP of Product Management to discuss:

• Shifting from business intelligence to predictive data intelligence
• Data sharing and data marketplaces
• The data consumption revolution
