CPE Webinar:

Key Steps to Mature Your Third-Party Risk Management Program

Hi [fname],

High-Profile Data Breaches have placed a spotlight on the risk of cyber security breaches with vendors and subcontractors, expanding the need to have greater rigor in third party risk management and ongoing risk assessments. Maintaining an effective third-party risk management program doesn't happen overnight. It's a journey that involves continual learning, refinement and evolution.

And as a program matures over time, it results in the management of vendors and other third parties with fewer risks, lower costs, better performance and stronger compliance. Since every company is at a different place in their journey towards better vendor management, it's important to identify steps that you can follow as you mature your program, and to consider your vendor risk ecosystem and the data and services that can have an enormous impact on risk reduction. On this CPE accredited webinar our panel of experts will address some key steps to mature your third-party risk management program.

Attend live to earn 1 CPE Credit and learn how to:

  • Create a third-party risk-management maturity roadmap,
  • Connect with enterprise systems to create a centralized data repository and enable seamless vetting activities across processes,
  • Incorporate external content sources for a more wholistic view of your vendors plus more sustainable ongoing monitoring,
  • Strengthen and streamline your third-party risk management efforts.

Speakers:

Colin Whittaker (Moderator), Founder and Director at Informed Risk Decisions;
Todd Boehler, VP of Product Strategy, at Process Unity;
Mark Deluca, SVP at Coupa;
Chris Poulin, Principal Consulting Engineer at BitSight;
Jason Sabourin, Product Manager at OneTrust.

Vendor Risk Management Solution Checklist

 

As companies continue to outsource more aspects of their operations to third parties, they expose themselves to more shared risk.

Yet they struggle to identify and prioritize the key features their VRM solution must provide so they can make a significant impact quickly.

To help with this challenge this checklist outlines features to look for in a VRM solution and explains key areas where you can start mitigating vendor risk today.

  pdf Cloud Risk Surface Report (1.54 MB)


cloudriskreportNavigating safely in cloudy condition

This report (re)uses the same data set behind the Internet Risk Surface Report. It is derived from RiskRecon’s work in providing companies objective visibility into their third-party cybersecurity risk. For each organization analyzed, RiskRecon trains machine learning algorithms to discover internet facing systems, domains, and networks. For every asset discovered, RiskRecon analyzes the publicly accessible content, code, and configurations to assess system security and the inherent risk value of the system based on attributes such as observable data types collected and transaction capabilities. RiskRecon provided Cyentia a large anonymized sample of their production data set for this research. 

Having studied several broad aspects of the Internet risk surface, we now seek to narrow the focus to consider how the cloud shapes that surface. The benefits of migrating data, workloads, applications, and business processes to the cloud are incredibly compelling. But as a steady string of headlines reporting large data exposures from cloud environments suggest, those benefits don’t come risk-free. Is the risk worth it? To help you answer that for your organization, we leverage a massive dataset supplied by RiskRecon spanning 18,000 organizations and over 5 million hosts yielding 32 million security findings. Read on for a preview of the fascinating facts and figures we share in this report.

Rise of the robots: Getting started with RPA for IT risk and security

LIVE WEBINAR! Wednesday, January 15th at 11AM PT / 2PM ET

With the rise of Robotic Process Automation (RPA), it is now possible to automate painfully manual risk and control assessments—as well as continuous monitoring. Hiring a robot returns precious bandwidth for your team to focus on critical thinking tasks like exception handling and issue remediation. But with so much potential, two questions remain: Where will automation drive the most efficiencies? Where should you start?

Join us tomorrow as Dan Zitting, former cyber risk advisor, shares practical examples of how IT risk and security teams can take advantage of RPA. He'll also walk through the maturity curve towards full automation or an “audit proof” IT and cybersecurity function. In this webinar you'll learn:

  • What RPA is and how companies are benefiting from robotics today.
  • The key differences between RPA and data analytics.
  • Real-life RPA use cases in IT audit, risk management, security, and compliance.
  • How to deploy robots for the biggest measurable impact.
