What happens when ransomware strikes a big corporation like Clorox? Imagine the chaos and the panic that ensues - not to mention, the significant impact on revenue and leadership. That’s where we kick off our conversation with Sean Gerber, who delves deep into the Clorox ransomware attack and why having a strong resiliency plan is imperative. We also shed light on the importance of authorization and discretionary access controls in maintaining organizational security.
We navigate the complex world of role-based access controls (RBAC), discussing how it can efficiently handle access permissions and even prevent fraud within an organization.
