THIRD PARTY VENDOR MANAGEMENT

Your organization is only as secure as its weakest link.

Recent Gartner research has shown that 60% of organizations work with over 1,000 3rd party vendors. Working with so many vendors can be a significant security threat to an organization when multiple parties’ systems are integrated. Connections can be made via application interfaces, remote connections, or the vendor’s employees connecting to the customer’s network while onsite.

 This is why it is vitally important that organizations perform some level of due diligence before commencing a business relationship with a new vendor. By requesting the completion of a risk assessment or survey, you can make sure that the vendor adheres to the same security standards that protect your organization from an attack, and that any identified security leaks within the vendor are mitigated to a satisfactory standard before they connect to your network.
