Debunking Vendor Cybersecurity Myths
From speculating that vendors have terrifying security posture to guessing that vendors have water-tight security practices, organizations make assumptions around cybersecurity too often. What does the cybersecurity standing between business and their vendors actually look like? In a new study, RiskRecon by Mastercard and Cyentia Institute examine security assessments across more than 50,000 B2B relationships. Through this data, this session will illustrate:
- • The likelihood of your firm or a firm you are working being involved in a breach event
- • How firms can be exposed to a variety of new security risks via third parties
- • The impact of poor assessment practices on your cybersecurity standing
