Cybersecurity & Vendor Risk: Third-Party Risk Challenge Is Here

Cloud-based vendors are increasingly being used for critical tasks by many corporations, almost all of them allowing those vendors to see, access, or process sensitive company data. This has pushed vendor cybersecurity risk sky high – and has also created new compliance and vendor risk management (VRM) challenges.

This webinar explores:

• Cyber security threats that third-party vendors pose
• Regulator recommendations for managing VRM
• How effective TPRM makes your own business a more attractive third party to others
• Three steps companies can take today to better understand and manage vendor risk:
  • The SOC 2 audit
  • The NIST cybersecurity controls
  • Preparation for more outside scrutiny
