Session
As organizations increasingly adopt cloud technologies and artificial intelligence, the attack surface expands, heightening the risk of data breaches and security incidents. Third-party vendors play a significant role in this dynamic, often introducing additional vulnerabilities into the ecosystem.
This presentation aims to provide organizations, practitioners, and individual contributors with an accessible and familiar framework for evaluating and onboarding potential vendors. By implementing effective third-party risk management strategies, attendees will learn how to mitigate risks and protect their organization's critical data.
