What struggles have you faced with leveraging GRC (Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance) tools into your Information Security Management Programs? This week David Lam addressed this question and others during a panel discussion at the LA Security Summit 2024 CISO Forum alongside other industry insiders Robert Felps, John Rostern, and Steve Weltman, CISSP. As Lam suggests, “Investing in the right GRC tools is essential for both information security practitioners and organizations—implementing these technologies not only provides a clear view of risks, but helps you identify where action is needed.” #InformationSecurity #LASecuritySummit #MillerKaplan #RiskManagement #Compliance
