The Best Way To Calculate Cyber Risk Nobody Is Talking About
Most organizations rely on scoring systems like CVSS or EPSS to determine cyber risk. But what if there's a better way?
In this episode of Simply Cyber Firesides, host Gerald Auger, Ph.D. is joined by Karla Reffold, Chief Insights Officer at Surefire Cyber, for a conversation about a different way to think about risk.
