Going into the pandemic it was cited that two-thirds of security breaches occurred due to the failure of third parties to meet their security commitments. The pandemic has only created a new intensity and emphasis around third party risk stemming from an accelerated adoption and dependency on cloud-based solutions as well as an increase in the overall vendor options. Defending against third-party vulnerabilities continues to be a focal point for many CISOs and risk managers. To help us navigate through this topic we are joined by Paul Valente. Paul recently departed as a CISO practitioner to pursue his quest to make the world safer for third party risk.
