Topic

Changing the Conversation around Digital Risk Management: Third Party Risk

Tom Field

Senior Vice President - Editorial, ISMG

So, you’ve managed to turn the enterprise defense conversation from the topic of “security” to the more appropriate topic of “risk.”

But are you prepared to have this discussion in the case of an event that involves a third party vendor, supplier, partner or connected service? Have you inventoried and ranked these third parties relating to criticality and the role they represent within your own line of business? Can you ensure third party alignment to your own event protocols?

If you are looking for new strategies and solutions to help answer these questions, then join ISMG’s Tom Field for an exclusive roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, offering insight on how they have been able to help organizations change their digital risk management conversation.

The discussion will focus on ways to:

Develop processes to identify risk (financial viability, security or contractual) related to third parties;
Monitor those connection points to third parties to identify potential threats;
Ensure third party alignment to your own breach protocols.

Joining Tom to provide expert insight and case studies is Ben Smith, Field CTO for RSA Security.
