The nth-party frontier: Getting ahead of hidden AI risks in your supply chain

The nth-party frontier: Getting ahead of hidden AI risks in your supply chain

Description

True enterprise risk lies beyond third parties, hidden deep within complex supply chain dependencies, like subcontractors and shared cloud services, demanding a complete shift in focus for TPRM programs. This practical session will equip you with the strategies to move past static onboarding, helping you uncover critical fourth-party exposures and implement necessary continuous monitoring practices. We will provide real world insights on balancing program priorities, making the case for security ROI, and ensuring your business continuity planning is robustly challenged to withstand a failure anywhere in your extended vendor ecosystem.
