In this episode of Redefining Society, Marco Ciappelli invites listeners on an enlightening journey into the sometimes shadowy realm of cybersecurity and compliance. Joined by Igor Volovich, Vice President of Compliance Strategy at Cumulus, the duo discusses a complex intersection between societal norms, technology, and the growing importance of trust in this digital age. An intriguing and expansive conversation unfolds, probing the deep undercurrents of our interconnected society and challenging us all to think critically about the shape of things to come.

In the rapidly-evolving realm of cybersecurity, there's an urgent need to recalibrate our perspective. In this revealing discussion, Marco and Igor lift the veil on an industry often misunderstood and even overlooked by those outside its borders. They tackle difficult questions, addressing why people resist engaging with cybersecurity and exploring the role society as a whole plays in this digital dance.

The duo also dives into a thought-provoking analysis of the role of compliance in cybersecurity. Is compliance truly the culprit behind our cybersecurity woes, or is it simply being misused? They dissect the complexities of this vital mechanism, underscoring the need for a shift in approach. According to Igor, the fault lies not in compliance itself, but in its application: the industry must move beyond capturing past state and strive towards real-time risk management.

The discussion becomes even more engaging when the conversation pivots towards whistleblowers. The role of whistleblowers in society, especially within cybersecurity, is a subject that provokes a gamut of reactions. And yet, as Marco and Igor discuss, these individuals could be considered the ultimate "canaries in the coal mine," heralding issues and risks that might otherwise go unnoticed. But is society ready to embrace this often-maligned group and give them the recognition they deserve?

As the conversation unfolds, Igor and Marco challenge listeners to reassess their understanding of cybersecurity, urging them to consider not just the technology but the human element of this intricate equation. They explore how the convergence of compliance, risk security, and operationalizing compliance can potentially transform the industry.
