MRM Episode 114 - Santosh Kaveti
Getting the basics right before exploring Artificial Intelligence projects is the key message from my guest for this episode.Santosh Kaveti is the CEO and Founder of ProArch, a purpose-driven enterprise that accelerates value and increases resilience for its clients with consulting and technology services, enabled by cloud, guided by data, fueled by apps, and secured by design.His pro tip? First, get your data sorted - classification, access, governance etc. Without this, you could be putting your organisation in harm's way and in this day and age, there is no excuse for not understanding the data you collect, what you do with it, how you manage, store and dispose of it.Once you have your data 'housekeeping' right, you can explore the amazing possibilities of AI confident in the knowledge that you won't be exposing confidential or personally identifiable information (PII) inadvertently. Santosh shares his vast experience in this space - I know you will enjoy listening as much as I did talking to him.

In this chat, we catch up again with Aaron Painter, CEO of Nametag Inc. After appearing in episode 90, Aaron is back with updates and developments in the identity management arena that all risk professionals need to be aware of.We talk about why only using multi-factor authentication (MFA) as a strategy is no longer enough - and not just because of the friction created from an experience and cost perspective.Aaron also shares a worrying trend exploiting a gap in the employment process between the Human Resources team onboarding and IT team provisioning new users (beware foreign actors!).There is some great advice for risk managers and discussion on why everyone's mobile phone is such a valuable weapon in the fight against identity theft / impersonation.So great to have Aaron back for this discussion - hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
