The Risk Roundtable: EP 11 – Protests & Security Awareness Months (Preparedness! Insider Threats!! Cybersecurity!!!)
Please enjoy this next episode of The Gate 15 Podcast on Anchor, Apple, Spotify, as well as other locations accessible from the Anchor link.
On the latest Risk Roundtable, the Gate 15 team dives into a myriad of topics including the latest protest activity and what it means for organizations, as well as doing their part in promoting this year’s National Insider Threat Awareness Month, National Preparedness Month and the upcoming National Cyber Security Awareness Month as they discuss the importance of truly building a culture of preparedness. Protest activities can take on a life of their own and create challenges for organizations and their respective security teams. The team digs into how awareness and understanding can help them address these challenges that don’t fit into the one-size-fits-all model of past protests. Several organizations and resources are mentioned in this edition of the Risk Roundtable, including:
