For today’s CISOs, third-party risk management (TPRM) often feels like a time-intensive, check-the-box process that pulls valuable resources away from strategic priorities.

Join this panel discussion featuring David Stapleton, Chief Trust Officer at ProcessUnity, and Marcello Tomasina, Senior Manager at Accenture Security, as they explore how adopting the “ask once, use many” approach through third-party risk exchanges. Thus, simplify due diligence, reduce redundancy, and empower security leaders to focus on mitigating real risks. Gain practical insights and proven strategies to optimise TPRM processes without compromising thoroughness or effectiveness.

Be part of the conversation and explore how to:

- Instantly perform inherent risk analysis on your entire vendor portfolio
- Incorporate real-time risk [CM1] data into your process to reduce [CM2] questionnaire requests
- Access [CM4] assessment data on large, hard-to-assess third parties that don’t respond to you
- Monitor 100% of your portfolio — not just your critical vendors

ISF Assure: Solving security with less stress

As adoption accelerates, more than half of organisations lack a clear AI security governance framework – leaving them vulnerable to risks and compliance challenges.

In this webinar author Lee Munson, ISF Principal Research Analyst, will be joined by Richard Absalom ISF Principal Research Analyst and Nikhil Stephen, InfoSec Risk Analyst at Arcadis N.V., to reflect on why AI security governance is struggling to keep up and who should be accountable and responsible for it.

Living off the cloud attacks are on the rise, with attackers using rapid, cloud-native techniques to escalate privileges, move laterally between environments, and access critical assets more effectively than ever.

In this session, Lauren Place, Product Marketing at Wiz, will present a real-world case study of a "living off the cloud" attack, analysing a step-by-step account of the attack as it unfolded from attacker's perspective. 

We will then switch gears and rewind the attack, explaining how effective cloud detection and response (CDR)  methodologies could — and should — have prevented every step of the attack. Defeating these threats requires powerful centralised visibility and control of all cloud environments and resources. 

Our key takeaways will therefore be tailored to leveraging the best methodologies and tools to take back the initiative and stop even the most sophisticated cloud attacks.
