A Modern Approach to Third-Party Risk Assessments

5:30 - 8:00 PM CT | Dallas, TX

Event Overview

According to recent research from VentureBeat, 54% of security breaches occur through third-party relationships.

Meanwhile, according to Forrester, 69% of risk decision-makers identified their third-party risk management program as manual. “Even more concerning: Just 30% indicated that their organization’s TPRM program evaluates at least half of its existing third-party relationships.”

It is beyond time for a third-party risk assessment overhaul.

From risk-ranking to scope and scale of assessments, from automated tools to AI-powered decision making, a modern, efficient approach to third-party risk assessment will help fill these potentially costly vulnerability gaps.

Join us for a discussion on modernizing third-party risk assessments. We’ll cover 10 steps toward a modern program and how you can reimagine vendor risk assessments, including:

How to classify and tier your vendors via inherent risk.
Where and how to add automation to assessments.
How to employ AI to assess and monitor lower-risk third parties.
