Show Notes
Organisations are facing new types of advanced persistent threat scenarios that current risk management programmes cannot defend against. To be proactive and reactive to such threats, business leaders must have a detailed threat profile, providing a clear view and prioritisation of their risks, enabling the implementation of effective defences.
In the first episode in CRMG’s podcast series, CRMG’s Nick Frost, Andrew Wilson and Todd Wade share their take on threat profiling, the importance of defining an organisations threat profile, and the threat actors that can influence the profile.
Our experts also share their key action points for CISOs to successfully define their organisation’s threat profile, while delivering value to the business.

The emergence and rapid growth of online retail is a great example of how businesses can move most of their operations online. Even businesses that don’t sell their products or services online are now benefiting from increased customer engagement and interaction from using digital platforms. However, while moving online has many benefits and opportunities to scale, it also creates many vulnerabilities and opportunities for cybercriminals.
The pace and scale at which we create and share data is greater than ever before. With such an abundance of information, data ownership is a real challenge for organisations, with many finding it too difficult to determine the data they own, and who is responsible for what. Once organisations assign data owners who understand what they are accountable for, how to manage risk to their data, and buy-in to the responsibility of being an owner, they can truly be an asset to the business - and a critical step in cybersecurity. In this podcast, Nick Frost, Co-Founder & Director at CRMG and Simon Lacey, Principal Consultant at CRMG, discuss why organisations that define data owners will be in a stronger position with their information security than those that don’t. Nick and Simon also share examples of how to identify and assign data owners, and how to get buy-in from the people who own data, and essentially the risk.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a period of major transition and organisations have had to quickly adapt to weather the storm. Many businesses have managed to remain operational but with all-new working processes. Organisations have adopted enterprise-wide remote working which likely required the rapid adoption of technology and a much greater reliance on existing or new digital infrastructure.
