Strengthening Cyber Resilience: Navigating Third-Party Risk Management

Nov 7 / IT GRC Forum

In today’s hyper-connected digital ecosystem, organizations depend on a wide range of third-party vendors, partners, and service providers to accelerate innovation and streamline operations. However, this increased reliance introduces significant security challenges. Research shows that third-party breaches cost organizations up to 40% more than internal incidents, underscoring the critical importance of a strong Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) strategy.

This webinar will explore how businesses can strengthen cyber resilience by evaluating, managing, and mitigating risks tied to external partners. Attendees will learn how to conduct thorough risk assessments, perform effective due diligence, and build scalable onboarding and monitoring processes that support regulatory compliance.

The session will also highlight how automation, continuous monitoring, and advanced security tools can simplify TPRM workflows and improve visibility across the supply chain. By adopting a proactive, technology-enabled approach, organizations can reduce exposure, protect sensitive assets, and confidently engage with third-party providers while maintaining alignment with broader business objectives.
