From Checkbox Compliance to Active Defense: Mastering the Supply Chain Cybersecurity Maturity Curve

What if you could harness the power of AI to transform your third-party risk management program?

In today's complex supply chain risk environment, managing cyber risk is no longer just about receiving a single security rating and traditional vendor assessments. Manual processes leave security teams spending countless hours gathering data and chasing down responses. This time-consuming, reactive approach leaves you vulnerable and unable to focus on the most critical threats. You need a smarter, more efficient way that provides deeper, proactive insights, such as industry benchmarking for vendors and automating workflows to prioritize the highest-risk issues.

Join us to learn how SecurityScorecard is leveraging AI to help you:

-- Automate Your Workflows: Automatically trigger questionnaires and streamline the entire assessment process.
-- Leverage Intelligent Automation: Analyze vendor documents and auto-fill questionnaire responses, saving you time and ensuring accuracy.

Defending Telecommunications and Critical Infrastructure Against China-Linked Threat Actors and Emerging Risks

Your business relies on a complex network of suppliers. This creates opportunities for attackers. New research shows that over 70% of organizations experienced a material third-party cyber incident in the past year. Your current risk management strategy may not be enough to protect you.

This webinar explores the critical findings from our 2025 Supply Chain Cybersecurity Trends report. We surveyed nearly 550 global security leaders to understand the gap between perceived security and actual resilience.

Join us to learn:

- Why visibility is a critical failure point. Fewer than half of organizations monitor the cybersecurity of even 50% of their nth-party supply chains. Most companies are blind to their most significant risks.
- How leaders assess the impact of an attack. Breaches create a chain reaction of consequences. These include financial recovery costs, production downtime, and service delivery disruption.
- Why confidence may be an illusion. 88% of executives express concern about supply chain risks. Fewer than half are "very confident" they could maintain operations after a critical vendor incident.
- How to move from passive monitoring to active response. Many security programs rely on vendor questionnaires and cyber insurance. See why leading teams are integrating rapid incident response to build true operational resilience.
