We look at the importance of innovation in building the cybersecurity industry and consider the value of new ideas. We showcase some of the new contenders coming through and explore some of the new tools and exciting technologies that are emerging. We also ask where the investment is and how do we ‘follow the money’?

LORCA’s member Risk Ledger has built a third-party risk management platform that facilitates the sharing of risk data between suppliers and their clients. The startup has just launched a report that takes a deep dive into data protection and supply chain security.

In today’s epsiode we are joined by Haydn Brooks. Haydn started in a big4 environment working in cyber risk mainly focusing on supply chain and third party security. The pain he saw and the difficulty clients were having drove him to co-found Risk Ledger.

This exciting platform enables its customers to check security over their entire supply chains with minimal staff. In 2019, he was recognised as a Forbes 30 under 30 member.
