Ep. 13 - Richard Hollis: Risk Mitigation in Cyberspace

Brian J Matos

Richard Hollis joins Brian from London, England for a frank and eye-opening conversation on the threats we all face from web-based criminals and other bad actors in cyberspace. Richard is the CEO of Risk Crew, a London-based, cyber security risk management consulting firm. He has worked in the industry for over 30 years, developing his experience across the private sector, government and military roles.

Richard is a celebrated public speaker, and his articles can be found in a wide range of industry magazines including Wired, SC, InfoSec and Security Penetration Testing magazine.

Unique to his sector, he and his cybersecurity consultancy are looking to shake up the conversation as to whether complete and impervious cybersecurity is possible and where liability should be in an increasingly interconnected world.

In this episode, Brian and Richard discuss the current cyber threat landscape facing individuals, governments and businesses as well as the misleading promises made by some in the cyber defense industry. They dive into the realities of risk mitigation, training employees to be on guard against emerging threats and preparing our society to build resiliency against future disruptions.
