SUMMARY:Webinar | Rethinking GRC: Building an Engineered\, Scalable Future
DESCRIPTION:Governance\, Risk and Compliance (GRC) has long been seen as a process heavy\, documentation-driven function\, but the future demands something very different. As organizations scale and threats evolve\, GRC can no longer rely on manual workflows\, fragmented tools\, and traditional governance models. It must transform into a discipline that is engineered\, automated\, and deeply integrated into product and security ecosystems. \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, Akshita explores how automation\, scalable architectures\, and product thinking are reshaping Governance\, Risk and Compliance. Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of where GRC is headed\, why engineering is at the center of the next wave of innovation\, and how professionals at any stage can contribute to building systems that are not only compliant\, but resilient\, efficient\, and future-ready. \n  \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live. To earn CPE/CEU credits with the following providers\, you must meet the minimum requirements: \n\nGIAC/(ISC)2: attend for a minimum of 45 minutes or the entirety of the webinar\nCompTIA: attend for a minimum of 60 minutes or the entirety of the webinar (webinar topic must relate to the certificate being renewed)\n\nAttendees who meet the requirements can log into BrightTALK to print out their attendance certificates to submit for CPE/CEU credits. \n  \nRegister for this webinar and view the recording if you are unable to join live.
