Report: The State of Third-Party Risk

Did you know? More than half of organisations experienced a third-party IT security incident in the last two years, according to a survey conducted by the CyberRisk Alliance — and of these incidents, 52% originated from a software vendor. These sobering statistics are part of a recent CRA research report, sponsored by AuditBoard, that surveyed over 200 security executives, directors, managers, and IT admins.

With third-party breaches continuing to escalate in velocity and impact, it’s no longer enough to secure internal assets; organisations must be doubly sure any sanctioned entity with network permissions does not become an unwitting conduit for malicious activity. However, managing third-party and supply chain threats remains a daunting task. See how your organisation compares to the survey results in your free copy of Third-Party Risk: More Third Parties + Limited Supply-Chain Visibility = Big Risks for Organizations.
