“In today’s corporate environment, it is commonplace to outsource business operations functions to third-party suppliers for increased efficiency and to optimize internal resources. However, the added outsourcing benefits also carry significant cyber risk, as these connected entities can serve as an access point for cyber actors.
Third-party cyber risk is a unique issue in that while most organizations are aware of the significant threat it poses, many fail to implement an adequate risk mitigation strategy. Organizations are unprepared, and there is a disconnect between having awareness of a problem and the ability to manage it.”
