    • Mapping What Matters: Risk Management That Drives Business Impact

    Despite growing investments in cybersecurity, many organizations still struggle to reduce real risk. Why? Because dashboards don’t reduce risk—action does. To reduce real risk, organizations must operationalize cyber risk strategies—prioritizing action over reporting, and aligning security efforts with measurable business outcomes. Topics include: • Making cyber risk visible, measurable, and relevant to business leaders • Linking asset visibility to business-critical risk decisions • Moving from reporting risk to actively reducing it—at scale Learn how to operationalize your risk strategy to prioritize action, align security with business outcomes, and turn visibility into measurable impact.

    Two People Managing 300 Vendors: Why Your TPRM Program Is Running on Willpower

    Nearly three-quarters of organizations have two or fewer full-time employees managing vendor risk, even though more than half oversee 300 or more third-party relationships. Close to half experienced a third-party cyber event in the past year. The math does not work, and most TPRM teams know it. They are running on spreadsheets, manually chasing questionnaire responses, and conducting annual assessments that produce a point-in-time snapshot of a continuously changing risk surface.

    Regulatory pressure is intensifying at the same time. Two-thirds of institutions face demands to enhance their TPRM programs, and frameworks like DORA and updated SEC disclosure requirements are raising the stakes for third-party oversight. The gap between what regulators expect and what lean TPRM teams can deliver is widening.

    Closing that gap requires coordination across assessment automation, continuous monitoring, risk intelligence, and third-party visibility platforms to scale coverage without scaling headcount.

    Topics include:

    • Automating vendor risk assessments to scale coverage without scaling headcount
    • Moving from annual questionnaires to continuous third-party monitoring
    • Prioritizing vendor oversight based on actual risk rather than treating all vendors equally

    Learn how resource-constrained TPRM teams are closing the gap between regulatory expectations and operational reality.

    • Supply Chain Attacks Are Getting Worse. Your Questionnaire-based TPRM Program Can't Keep Up.

    More than one-third of data breaches now involve a compromised vendor or third party. A single compromised supplier can expose customer data, halt operations, and trigger regulatory penalties. And most organizations are still managing this risk through annual questionnaires and static spreadsheets that produce a snapshot of a vendor's security posture at a single point in time. Between assessments, vendors change their infrastructure, suffer incidents, and introduce new risks that are invisible until the next review cycle.

    The questionnaire model is breaking down from both sides. Vendors are overwhelmed by repetitive, duplicative assessments from every customer, and the resulting delays mean risk teams are making decisions on incomplete data. Meanwhile, regulatory frameworks are raising expectations: continuous oversight, documented remediation, and faster disclosure timelines are becoming standard requirements. Addressing this requires coordination across assessment automation, continuous monitoring, external risk intelligence, and vendor risk platforms to build TPRM programs that match the speed and scale of today's supply chain threat landscape.

    Topics include:

    • Supplementing point-in-time questionnaires with continuous external monitoring and risk intelligence
    • Automating vendor risk assessment workflows to scale oversight without proportional headcount increases
    • Aligning TPRM programs with evolving regulatory expectations around continuous third-party oversight
