With cyber-attacks on the rise, it is not surprising that organizations are concerned about the vulnerability of their systems and the data they manage. One worrying aspect is the lack of qualified personnel to manage their third parties. In addition, companies are often unaware of all the parties in their supply chain and struggle to understand the risks involved.
Data breaches are unfortunately all too common. Sometimes, however, an attack is so brazen that its effects reverberate for a long time. Such was the case with the SolarWinds incident, in which a state surreptitiously injected eavesdropping malware into the Oklahoma software maker's IT performance management solution used by governments and large enterprises. Organizations, from small businesses to large government agencies, were quickly reminded of their vulnerability to cyberattacks via service providers and privileged access software.
In addition to the risk of third-party attacks, many organizations struggle to map their entire supply chain. This often makes it difficult to get a complete picture of the risks in the chain, in addition to the associated liabilities. In addition, many companies struggle to find qualified personnel to manage their third-party vendors. This can lead to challenges in managing the risks and liabilities associated with these parties.
