Whether your organization is prepared or not, the risks associated with third-party partnerships will continue to increase. In 2022, approximately 1,802 data breaches exposed the information of more than 422 million individuals in the United States alone. While those numbers are enough to frighten any organization, many reports expect them to continue to rise throughout 2024.

Vendor Risk Management is critical for reducing the impact of security risks associated with third-party vendors. But often included with this cybersecurity practice is a bloat of administrative processes that disrupt workflows and impact VRM efficacy, defeating the purpose of even having a VRM program. To establish a scalable Vendor Risk Management program, cybersecurity teams should take advantage of every opportunity to replace manual processes with automation technology.

Customers often tell us of instances where someone in their team spins up a new machine that isn’t using an approved geolocation, or that they see an unexpected spike in hosting from a particular country. These anomalies can put an organization at risk, especially since they are difficult to spot in an automated way.

When it comes to securing your enterprise and keeping it safe, your success depends on effective communication. How can you explain cyber risks to the board in a way that's easy to understand, yet still packs a punch? Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) is a methodological approach that allows security teams to measure and quantify cyber risks in financial terms.
