    Welcome back to another captivating episode of The TechTual Talk*! Today, we're thrilled to have a special guest, Gregory Richardson, Blackberry's Vice President Global Advisory CISO , who brings a wealth of knowledge and years of experience in the cybersecurity industry. Gregory’s journey is nothing short of inspiring, as he began his career in the early, unglamorous days of cybersecurity and rose to prominence through persistence and a deep passion for technology.

    In this episode, we'll uncover the critical issues facing cybersecurity today, starting with the role of transparency and privacy in AI tools. Gregory will introduce us to his brainchild, Acta Scribe, an AI transcription service designed with the highest compliance standards in mind, ensuring that professionals such as doctors, therapists, and lawyers can trust that their data isn't misused.

    But this conversation goes beyond just technology. Gregory will share about his personal growth journey, including the importance of spiritual health, the value of perseverance, and the significance of mentorship in nurturing a successful career. We'll discuss the cultural challenges within the cybersecurity industry, from toxic environments driven by ego to the oversaturation of job applicants and the flawed recruitment process.

    The episode also tackles societal issues like the misuse of social media for creating false impressions and the broader implications of privacy concerns with apps like TikTok. Gregory's anecdotes provide real-world examples, including high-stakes meetings simplified for non-technical audiences and the harsh lessons learned from lacking empathy in leadership roles.

    Henri and Gregory will also stress the importance of self-promotion balanced with humility, networking, and soft skills, particularly for cybersecurity professionals. We'll delve into the complexities of system interconnectivity and the need for practical, robust solutions over flashy, yet superficial innovations.

    Hi there, welcome to The Techtual Talk! I'm your host Henri and today we have a very special guest joining us - Aria, also known as "AD" on Twitter where she shares invaluable insights about being a Cybersecurity Consultant in Governance, Risk and Compliance as well as job search strategies.

    Aria has a fascinating multifaceted background in GRC. She started her career as a fraud analyst at American Express before transitioning into compliance and risk after working on an impactful project involving investigation and legal action against fraud perpetrators. Determined to excel in GRC, Aria embarked on an intense self-learning journey - accessing a grant program for cybersecurity certifications, completing it, and landing a role as a GRC analyst.

    In our conversation today, Aria breaks down the critical components of an effective risk assessment process. She emphasizes the importance of control determination, risk level assessment, prioritizing risks, and developing comprehensive mitigation strategies. Aria also provides real-world examples illustrating significant business risks like cyber attacks, ransomware, phishing and employee vulnerabilities.

    We dive into the ongoing debate around certifications versus degrees for GRC job applications. Aria shares astute advice for individuals considering career changes, stressing the value of foundational knowledge and demonstrating transferable skills. She also opens up about the challenges of thriving in a GRC career - from meeting compliance needs without compromising operational efficiency to staying on top of GRC news in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.

    Aria's remarkable career progression, nearly a $100k increase since her early days as a fraud analyst, underscores the demand for GRC professionals with strong technical backgrounds. Her parting words for our listeners - take a proactive approach to learning, commit to excellence, and put in the work independently to achieve great outcomes.
