Jenna Waters: Cybersecurity and Compliance

Great Women in Compliance

Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance Podcast, co-hosted by Lisa Fine and Mary Shirley.

In this episode, Lisa talks with Jenna Waters, Cybersecurity Consultant at True Digital Security. Jenna has had a unique journey into compliance, as she enlisted in the Navy, was in counterintelligence, and then focusing on STEM in college. Jenna talks about the responsibility of being in the intelligence field in national security, what it is like to lead a team as a young woman in the military and how she decided on her career path. She also discusses key things to keep in mind as an ethics and compliance officer as you look at data security, and the importance of appropriate, objective risk assessments. She also distinguishes between cybersecurity and cyber-reactivity, and what that can mean for you and your organization - and how not preparing for cyberattacks can lead to reputational damage and loss of confidence by customers. And for those of you who are "Harry Potter" fans, we get into a discussion about which house and character each one would want to be (or would want, in Lisa's case).

We hope that you enjoyed this episode and welcome any feedback you may wish to send in to [e-mail].
