Check out this post for the discussion that is the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn. Joining me is our guest, Erik Decker, CISO, Intermountain Health.

In this episode:

• Why are we all struggling trying to manage third-party risk?
• Why do the hated questionnaires seem like compliance checkbox efforts?
• Does anyone believe it reduces risk?
• What's the right approach and how do you strike the right balance?
