Black Hat Conference 2024 is rapidly approaching, and we’re getting excited at Panorays. If you’re looking for the newest developments, research, and trends around cyber security, risk management, Black Hat is your destination.
The Black Hat Conference is one of the most important cyber security events of the year, bringing together hacking experts, world-class researchers, industry leaders, representatives from several governments, and more.
This year, many briefings and trainings are concerned with third-party risk management (TPRM), reflecting growing global concern about the vulnerability of long supply chains. As an innovative company that lives on the bleeding edge of TPRM, Panorays representatives will be there.
Importance of Third-Party Risk Management to Cybersecurity
In today’s interconnected business environment, effective TPRM is a prerequisite for robust cyber security protection. It involves identifying, assessing, and controlling risks that arise from your company’s connections to entities that aren’t under your control, but whose security affects yours.
Third parties have always posed a risk, but the threat has skyrocketed over the last few years. Supply chains are getting more and more complex, and businesses rely on vendors for vital services. IoT devices expand the attack surface; AI powers more sophisticated attacks; cyber warfare is increasing; and regulations are mushrooming.
At the same time, the impact of a third-party incident is magnified. No business can afford to be offline, and consumers are quick to abandon a company whose security has been compromised.
In response to rapidly evolving risks, we’re seeing changes in TPRM. Companies want deeper visibility and are trying to figure out how to use AI and automation to greater understand their threat landscape.
This is where Panorays comes in, with AI-powered, dynamic risk assessments. Our Risk DNA delivers continuous, real-time analysis of third parties and their potential vulnerabilities, enabling you to prioritize the highest risks and make informed decisions about your business connections.
