Organizations increasingly depend on third-party vendors, which introduces complex cybersecurity risks. The 2024 Change Healthcare cyberattack highlighted the severe consequences of vulnerabilities in third-party providers, affecting millions. This incident emphasizes the need for a robust approach to vendor risk management as cyber threats continue to evolve.
Recent breaches, such as those involving Conduent and Grubhub, illustrate the growing trend of cybercriminals exploiting single points of entry. Traditional vendor risk management methods are becoming inadequate, necessitating a shift towards automation and AI-driven security operations. By leveraging these technologies, organizations can enhance their monitoring capabilities and proactively address potential threats.
