During the Equifax 2017 Data Breach (which exposed the sensitive information on 146 million US consumers), Graeme Payne was Senior Vice President and CIO of Global Corporate Platforms. He was fired the day before the former Chairman and CEO of Equifax testified to Congress that the root cause of the data breach was human error and technological failure. Graeme would later be identified as “the human error”.

In this episode of the Business of InfoSec Podcast, host Michelle Ribeiro talks with Graeme Payne on lessons learned from the Equifax data breach and ideas on how cybersecurity leaders can effectively report risks to the board.
