Welcome to the latest episode of the ZeroHour Podcast and as I am starting a new podcast, your host today is one of the SC Magazines top 50 women in cybersecurity, its Karla Reffold. 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. Now as CEO he developed the product through Cylon, the cybersecurity London accelerator and has now raised their initial venture capital investment to expand the product globally into the market. 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.
