Know What's Actually Happening to Your Suppliers, Not Just When Their Names Show Up in Threat Data
A vendor can pass every questionnaire you send it and still be the reason you end up in a breach report. That's the gap most third-party risk programs live in today. According to the 2026 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 48% of breaches now involve a third party, up from 30% the year before and 15% the year before that. But most organizations still manage that risk with periodic assessments and separate threat feeds. Those methods can tell you whether a supplier passed a review last quarter.
