Topic

The Case for Re-Thinking Third-Party Risk

Tom Field / Neal Roylance

SVP - Editorial, ISMG / Director of Security Research, RiskRecon

Enterprises today don’t work with just tens, hundreds or even thousands of third-party vendors. Often, it’s tens of thousands. That number grows exponentially when one accounts for fourth-party vendors.

In such an environment, how can security leaders identify their most critical vendors, monitor the cybersecurity of those relationships on an ongoing basis and then operationalize third-party risk intelligence real-time and at scale?

If you are looking for new answers to these questions, please join ISMG’s Tom Field for an exclusive roundtable that will draw from the experiences of the attendees, offering thoughts on how they have embraced cybersecurity rating services as a means of evolving their approach to third-party risk management.

Discussion topics will include:

What are the gaps in your current third-party risk management program?
What role do cybersecurity rating services place in your program today?
How can your enterprise operationalize the data from cybersecurity ratings services to mitigate third- and fourth-party risks?

Joining Tom to provide expert insight and case studies is Neal Roylance, Director of Security Research at RiskRecon.
