Applying Threat Intelligence to Improve Visibility into Third-Party Risks

Aug 26 / IT GRC Forum

Data breaches remain one of the most significant cybersecurity threats facing organizations today, with third-party vendors contributing to a substantial portion of these incidents. According to a Ponemon Institute survey, 59% of organizations have experienced at least one data breach caused by a third party, with an average remediation cost of $7.5 million. Leveraging current threat intelligence is essential for creating and maintaining an effective third-party risk management program.


This expert panel discussion will explore how organizations can use threat intelligence to assess and mitigate risks associated with third-party relationships. Attendees will learn how to understand inherent risk and its impact on vendor security, assess third parties to identify and prioritize gaps in their security controls, map hacker workflows to anticipate attack scenarios, and continuously monitor and update their programs in line with evolving threats. By integrating actionable threat intelligence, organizations can proactively reduce exposure, strengthen defenses, and protect sensitive data across the supply chain.
