Third-Party Risk Management – BEC Compromises and the Cloud – Michael Swinarski – CSP #167

By identifying, assessing, and managing risks associated with external partners, organizations can enhance their resilience, protect sensitive information, and maintain the trust of stakeholders in an increasingly interconnected business ecosystem. We have seen the threat landscape change in the last few years. It has always been important to properly identify, categorize, and address risks created by our vendors and strategic partners, to now having to understand the entire supply chain, and how interruptions can affect your business. Even more recently, with the rise of Business Email Compromise (BEC), risks may also come from organizations you have no previous relationship or agreements with.
