Building a Vendor Inventory: The Foundation for Third-Party Incident Response

When it comes to vendor data breaches, supply chain disruptions, or other third-party incidents, most organizations focus on reactive activities like incident prioritization, root cause analysis, containment, and recovery. Although these are important parts of an incident response plan, successful third-party incident response begins well before an incident happens: knowing who your vendors are and what risks they pose.

Join Bob Wilkinson, CEO of Cyber Marathon Solutions and former CISO at Citigroup, as he guides you through efficiently building a vendor inventory as a foundation for your third-party incident response plan.

In this webinar, Bob shares how to:

• Identify the systems and teams typically involved in managing vendors
• Create processes and identify information needed to create a central vendor inventory profile
• Understand the types of risks that should be managed with vendor inventories
• Categorize vendors according to the risk they pose to the business and the functionality they provide
• Implement steps to maintain continuous visibility into cybersecurity threats and trends

Having a third-party response plan in place before an incident occurs will help your organization stay resilient in the face of growing cybersecurity threats – and the first step in your plan is to understand who your vendors are. Register now to learn from a leading expert!
