Reliability is required for one to feel protected from every potential threat. It initially begins with parents and slowly, as it turns out, becomes essential in every instance – from consuming food to using technology.
While the present cuisines are traced and doubly layered at every step of the process to ensure safety, one may wonder about the elements that are ensuring consumer protection in the new age of the internet world. As per current statistics, the internet has become a vulnerable spot for everyone – from children to the elderly. Apart from its social repercussions, it hurts the global economy, too, costing the world around $10.4 trillion annually by 2025.
But global leaders are curating a durable, cost-effective, and stronger solution than the rising incidences of multiple types of cyber-attacks.
One such leader is Head of Technology Third Party Governance – Brenda Ferraro, who made a 360-degree turn in her career choices from first selecting arts to now managing complex third party programs. Marching forward with her passion in the field and resolving the ever-emerging technological challenges, she is fabricating an internet world that is secure for everyone.
This purpose is enhanced by her active role in Wells Fargo, a company that is providing its customers with secured financial services and simplifying lives with everyday checks. They aim to protect account holders from any kind of threat in the financial sector.
Let us dive to read more about how Brenda is leading change in this sector!
The Unfolding
Brenda’s journey as a business leader, throughout her career to the position at Wells Fargo, was not a traditional one. She had to face challenges as a female in a world where there are 15 percent or fewer female leaders; what she brought to the table was experience rather than a degree.
Talking about the process and subsequent accomplishments because of this approach, she shares, “Early on in my career, executives took notice of my ability to break down processes and reconstruct them by removing delay and waste. I was sent off to receive a process mastery certification which I leveraged to drive innovations and influence skills to enhance processes using cutting edge techniques to eliminate risk out of the third-party ecosystem.”
Over the years, Brenda learned how to properly navigate the cyber security world through tenacity and surrounding herself with people who thrived on making a difference, which helped turn her into a third-party risk and incident management strategic anomaly.
