SOCTales is delighted to welcome Stuart Wright, Global Head of GRC at Nettitude, onto the Podcast to discuss where GRC comes into play for business, where to focus your time, what it means (and what it doesn't) and tries to answer me very loaded and tongue in cheek question, Can we make GRC Sexy? Stuart also touches on Neurodiversity not only within his own experiences, but also that of something within the IT Industry both as an employee and a hiring manager. In addition, For SOC's Sake at the end I think is something we can all agree with! Note - There are a couple of F-Bombs dropped in this episode, so be careful around the kids. Support the show…

In Episode 6 we chat to Jack Hughes, head of Digital Forensics and Incident Response at Unit42, the DFIR and Threat Intelligence company. We chat about how malicious actors get into environments, dwell time, lateral movement and how it can be tracked. In addition, Jack talks about his own experiences within the industry not only in his current role but also his career in getting to that stage and where those looking to get into DFIR can concentrate their learning efforts. We also look at preparation for a SOC, with elements such as table top exercises as well as personal on the job investigations that Jack has been involved in. It took a few months to arrange this interview given that Jack is "Always out saving the world" according to his colleagues, so it was great to get him on the show and it was certainly worth it.
