092 Managing Third-Party Risk in Real Time

Many organizations find themselves faced with the challenge of managing third-party risk, working with business partners, vendors, and suppliers to ensure that they are handling security and managing vulnerabilities at an acceptable level.

There are limitations to this approach, since businesses don’t operate in static environments, and things change in real time. Our guest today is Jon Oltsik, senior principal analyst and ESG fellow at the Enterprise Strategy Group. He’s author of a recently published study, “Third-Party Risk: Why Real-Time Intelligence Matters.”
