Hi there, welcome to The Techtual Talk! I'm your host Henri and today we have a very special guest joining us - Aria, also known as "AD" on Twitter where she shares invaluable insights about being a Cybersecurity Consultant in Governance, Risk and Compliance as well as job search strategies.
Aria has a fascinating multifaceted background in GRC. She started her career as a fraud analyst at American Express before transitioning into compliance and risk after working on an impactful project involving investigation and legal action against fraud perpetrators. Determined to excel in GRC, Aria embarked on an intense self-learning journey - accessing a grant program for cybersecurity certifications, completing it, and landing a role as a GRC analyst.
In our conversation today, Aria breaks down the critical components of an effective risk assessment process. She emphasizes the importance of control determination, risk level assessment, prioritizing risks, and developing comprehensive mitigation strategies. Aria also provides real-world examples illustrating significant business risks like cyber attacks, ransomware, phishing and employee vulnerabilities.
We dive into the ongoing debate around certifications versus degrees for GRC job applications. Aria shares astute advice for individuals considering career changes, stressing the value of foundational knowledge and demonstrating transferable skills. She also opens up about the challenges of thriving in a GRC career - from meeting compliance needs without compromising operational efficiency to staying on top of GRC news in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment.
Aria's remarkable career progression, nearly a $100k increase since her early days as a fraud analyst, underscores the demand for GRC professionals with strong technical backgrounds. Her parting words for our listeners - take a proactive approach to learning, commit to excellence, and put in the work independently to achieve great outcomes.
Stay tuned for this illuminating and inspiring conversation with Aria! #GRC #cybersecurity #salary
