While SolarWinds may have captured the media’s attention, supply chain risk and third-party breaches are nothing new. The challenge is organizations are adopting digital transformation, and as a result increasing their reliance on third parties, faster than they can scale their third-party cyber risk management programs. This transition is creating a gap that is being actively exploited by attackers which is evident by the fact that over 50% of all breaches are linked to a third party. The good news is we’ve gotten a lot smarter about third-party risk management and there are a lot of best practices and tools that can help you optimize your program today.

This session will cover the foundational principles of building a third-party risk management program that will help you identify and prioritize your most vulnerable vendors and reduce your risk.
