Additionally, he is a Charter Member of TechGC — an independent, invitation-only, peer community for general counsels. In this episode… Every organization and business wants to increase their security, but how do you quantify the change? Security is a complex, multi-faceted topic where almost anything can go wrong. Many companies do their best, but have no clear measurement for how safe they and their customers truly are. For this reason, security experts can run thorough tests, and even simplify that analysis into a digestible and familiar medium. SecurityScorecard lives up to its name by providing a scorecard and offering risk management options. This approach can expose weaknesses and lead to a better understanding of your security needs. In this episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels invite Owen Denby, General Counsel at SecurityScorecard, onto the show to learn more about quantifying cybersecurity. They discuss how the software measures risks, how new SEC regulations enter the equation, and regular pitfalls that companies face.
