Third-party cyber risk isn’t slowing down, and neither is the complexity. In the wake of high-profile incidents like CrowdStrike and Delta, third-party risk management (TPRM) has taken center stage. Gartner’s 2025 Market Guide for TPRM Technology Solutions highlights the core issue: most tools still fall short of covering all use cases, leaving enterprises to stitch together multiple point solutions and hope for the best.

Join Padraic O’Reilly, Founder of CyberSaint, and Evelyn Anderson, Distinguished Engineer, CSS CTO, IBM, for an in-depth look at how organizations are transforming their approach with automation, consolidation, and real-time risk intelligence. Get insights from IBM Consulting on how they’re leveraging CyberStrong to achieve that.

You’ll walk away with expert insight into:

- Why TPRM remains a top challenge even for mature programs
- What recent breaches reveal about third-party risk visibility, and how IBM is approaching cyber TPRM
- How IBM Consulting leverages CyberStrong to eliminate siloes and connects third-party and first-party risk into one intelligent platform
- Why tomorrow’s TPRM strategy demands automation, financial quantification, and continuous monitoring

Whether you're evaluating your current tech stack or building a more integrated cyber risk program, this session will help you cut through the noise and move toward a scalable, data-driven future for third-party risk. See the future of cyber TPRM with IBM Consulting and CyberSaint.
