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!

MRM Episode 103 - Jonathan Egan
This podcast chat provides a great case study of risk management in action - and not just that but uses an upside risk (an opportunity) as the example.My guest is Jonathan Egan, CEO and Founder of FabCast Solutions, a vertically integrated contract manufacturing company that specializes in engineered metal and plastic components for small-to-midcap companies. Jonathan foresaw the increasing demand for nearshoring, and established FabCast Solutions SRL de CV in México to help them assist US businesses in relocating their operations from the Far East to North America. This provided additional production capacity and cost savings. Why Mexico you ask? Think of cheaper energy prices, raw material prices being unstable in East Asia, the various tariffs on imported Chinese goods coming into the US, and Mexico bringing more predictable production lead times!This episode provides an insight into an organisation that has seen an opportunity and used risk management techniques to bring it to reality. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did!
