Show Notes
In this episode, Host Ron Eddings enjoys a reprieve from the hectic RSA conference with guest Paul Valente, CEO of VISO Trust. Paul discusses how he used his extensive experience as a CISO to solve a huge pain point he was experiencing with third party risk management (TPRM) and how it prompted him and a colleague to start their own company to create the solution they had been wishing for.
