Diminishing Risk, Increasing Profit, and Reducing Costs Through Security with Marsha Wilson of ScaleSec
Episode 20: Show Notes
Today we continue with Part 2 in our conversation with Marsha Wilson, CEO of ScaleSec. While the first episode covered Martha's advice to startups on how to create a foundation of security, this episode delves into how to deal with security issues a few years down the line if you didn't follow Martha's advice in the beginning. A lot of the recommendations included in this podcast aren't specifically directed only to those in software or hardware startups, but apply across the board as security affects all users of technology in a business. Tuning in you'll hear how to make sure that security is inherent to your business, how to convince an organization that certain secunty barriers are worth the inconvenience to your developers, and how you can reduce risk, increase profit, and reduce costs by spending money on security. We discuss the 'Cloud and Web Security Challenges in 2022' report and the hot topic of data loss prevention and compromise through third-party vendors. Martha also shares her advice to any organization that has already been breached. Tune in to hear more about the true value of your data and why your entire organization needs to understand this and be responsible for its security.
