Organizations rely on a growing network of vendors, service providers, and technology partners. While these relationships create business value, they also introduce security risks.
A vulnerability within a third-party provider can become an entry point for attackers. As a result, vendor risk assessments, continuous monitoring, and security audits are becoming critical practices.
Organizations that strengthen third-party risk management improve resilience and reduce exposure to supply chain attacks.
