Mark Lynd is a former CEO, CIO, CTO, and CISO and currently serves as the Head of Digital Business at Netsync that employs a consultative and collaborative approach to help organizations architect innovative technology solutions that meet business needs. He is an author, frequent speaker on topics related to AI, IoT, and cybersecurity, is ranked in the Top 1 Globally for Security by Thinkers360, was named an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year for the Southwest Region, and is frequently interviewed by and quoted in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, InformationWeek, and others. Before his time in the private sector, Mark served in the U.S. Army’s 3rd Ranger Battalion and 82nd Airborne Division.
In this Kitecast episode, Mark discusses the significance of GRC (Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance) in today’s technology landscape, which is being propelled by accelerated evolution in cyber threats, third-party risks, and data security issues in the cloud. One outcome is that organizations must prioritize GRC strategies rather than making them an afterthought. In addition, Mark argues that Digital Rights Management (DRM) is critical when implementing a GRC strategy that addresses a zero-trust model focused on protecting sensitive content.
Beyond connecting GRC with DRM, Mark also speaks about artificial intelligence (AI), why it is important to teach cybersecurity life skills to teenagers, what he will be covering in his next book, how lack of DRM governance in the higher education sector is exposing national secrets, and more. This is an insightful discussion for anyone interested in learning from a proven leader who is dedicated to digital transformation and cybersecurity.
