Top Requirements for Automating SOX Quarterly Self-Assessments

The current state of vendor risk management (VRM) is bleak. More than half of all information security breaches are caused by third-party vendors, and according to Deloitte 83% of today’s business leaders lack confidence in third party VRM processes. Given the growing complexities in accurately collecting and screening third-party data and the need for deeper due diligence, automation is key to a successful risk program. However, many corporations haven’t adopted automation in their third-party risk management programs.

The lack of automation adoption can be traced to a few core reasons. Disparate systems, out-of-date data, and inconsistent policies can all stifle a company’s ability to modernize their third-party risk management program, and companies often suffer from more than one of these. When applied effectively, automation can not only help prevent these roadblocks; it can also drive the efficiencies procurement and compliance leaders are looking for. Join this CPE accredited panel webinar as our expert panel address some key steps to automating third-party risk management, including how to:

-Manage an up-to-date vendor master to create one source of truth across the entire corporation,
-Leverage automation and machine learning to standardize data governance,
-Drive efficiencies and reduces costs, while ensuring the highest accuracy in your third-party risk management program.

Today’s increasing organizational complexity and evolving threat environment have made it more critical than ever for organizations to clearly identify their exposures, measure vulnerability risk, and quickly prioritize remediation efforts. Cyberattacks are often hidden from view under a mountain of alerts generated by security systems, giving attackers time to gain access to systems and seize valuable data.

To ensure their companies don't end up in the headlines for the wrong reasons, corporate governance, risk management, compliance management and other “lines of defense” functions need to rethink their security strategy and take an approach that looks at behavior and attack patterns. By conecting cybersecurity attack analytics with risk programs and GRC work streams, executives can increase visibility into the overall security risk of the organization which makes the investigation of application security events easy, and enables teams to mitigate and respond to real security threats quickly and decisively.

Join this CPE panel webinar for insights on achieving smarter GRC with CAA. We will share:

- Why traditional endpoint security is failing to see and stop attacks.
- How using attack analytics can stop cyberattacks now and in the future.
- Efficient ways to analyze events and prevent threats.
- How to move from looking back to real-time and forward-looking GRC monitoring.

The days of securing a well-defined perimeter around your organization are gone. The cloud, mobile technologies, the internet of things (IoT) and diverse user groups freely exchange data across digital ecosystems, network and economies. This fluidity, however, means that organizations must secure access at multiple points throughout the organization, or risk letting in intruders seeking to hijack data.

To manage the increasingly diverse digital landscape, IT and security managers need to move beyond usernames and passwords, and expand their use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) to help provide secure and convenient access to the critical data and systems users need. On this webinar our panel of experts will address how secure authentication can help enable GRC across the digital ecosystem, and they will share tips on:

- Securing access at all points across applications, devices, users and environments.
- Sharing insights across security systems to strengthen security.
- Collecting and analyzing information to stop attacks.
- How MFA can transform secure access—to any application, from any device, anywhere, at any time.
- Strengthening identity assurance with privileged users.
