  • The CISO Survival Guide to Third-Party Software Risk Management (TPSRM)

    Modern businesses rely on third-party commercial-off-the-shelf software, but many lack strong practices for managing the risks involved.

    The rise of software supply chain attacks targeting third-party software providers and rising regulatory pressure has spurred cybersecurity and risk leaders to pay special attention to commercial software and the gaps it presents across the software supply chain.

    The CISO Survival Guide: Operationalizing Third-Party Software Risk Management offers a roadmap to build a successful TPSRM program. This guide covers:

    • Challenges in evaluating third-party software
    • Why traditional methods (SBOMs, questionnaires) fall short
    • Steps to launch a scalable TPSRM program

  • Explore the latest insights on managing technology risks

    Technology is central to businesses, making them vulnerable to disruptions from new regulations, cybercrime, and costs, as well as insider risks and leadership demands. This white paper examines the CISO's evolving role and the need for a comprehensive technology risk management strategy beyond traditional IT risk detection. Key topics include:

    · Identifying and assessing technology assets and vendors
    · Deciding which risks to avoid, mitigate, transfer, or accept
    · Overcoming challenges like security audits, compliance, and third-party risk
    · Evaluating technology risk management software

    Learn how a proactive approach to technology risk can protect against costly disruptions.
