Vikas Bhatia, CEO and Co-Founder of Just Protect, joins host George Rettas to talk about why assessing Third Party Risk is so important, how smaller firms are reacting to demanding assessments from their clients, and the types of changes that are occurring around the risk assessment process in the industry. Bhatia provides his subject matter expert opinion on how firms should be efficiently and effectively managing these assessments, how Cyber Security Teams should get the business involved earlier in the assessment process, and how small companies with small budgets should handle these challenging assessment demands. Bhatia and Rettas also discuss how professionals can transition into the Cyber Security sector, what skills they need to possess to make a successful transition, and they discuss the rash of new companies entering the Cyber Security market and how customers must differentiate between the real players and the fakers looking to capitalize on a growing industry.
