We were very saddened to learn about the sudden and unexpected passing of Frank Platt CMMC-RPA, CISSP Monday night. Frank was a member of the vCISO Services, LLC consulting family, but that was but a very small part of his involvement in the information security community. One of the many ways he gave back to the community was by serving on the Middle Tennessee ISACA chapter board of directors, and we have opted to share their beautiful tribute to him. He was generous, kind, and instantly a friend to all who met him, and will be greatly missed.

In this snip, he emphasizes the importance of understanding and accepting acceptable information security risks, especially for those who are new to the industry. It is impossible to completely eliminate risks, but rather it is crucial to assess the risks, their impact, and determine what level of risk is acceptable.
