The growing reliance on a complex network of vendors, platforms, AI systems and supply chains is forcing teams to reassess third-party risk management (TPRM) programs. Realizing your org is only as secure as your least secure partner - or partners’ partners - leaves teams struggling to address the root risks effectively. In this symposium, we discuss how broader risks, such as those in AI and OT environments, complicate traditional approaches and why outdated methods, including questionnaires, fail to provide the necessary insight. We then share practical, actionable strategies to build and scale your TPRM program to more fully understand risk, and accept or mitigate it, while still enabling the business.
