Third-Party Risk: Conducting Emergency Assessments After the CrowdStrike Incident

If the recent CrowdStrike incident taught us anything it's that we need to drastically change how we assess our third-party service providers in the face of emerging threats and vulnerabilities. There are too many vendors to assess, compounded by the increasing volume of threats we face each year. On a normal day, TPRM teams already have too much to do. When an incident like this occurs, they need to stop what they're doing and conduct an emergency assessment -- an ugly process that overburdens companies and their vendors, and typically takes weeks, if not months. It doesn't have to be that way.

Join ProcessUnity for a 50-minute webcast on Thursday, August 1 at 11:00 AM ET as we discuss Best Practices for Threat and Vulnerability Response.

Session attendees will learn how to:

• Monitor advisories for critical vulnerabilities and determine which ones matter
• Prioritize which third parties should be assessed based on firmographic and technographic data and vendor profiles from a TPRM exchange
• Quickly scope and bulk-assess potentially affected third parties and score the results in real-time
• Incorporate external cyber ratings and financial scores into decision-making processes
• Capture and distribute findings and recommendations via one-click management reporting
• Leverage new technologies to streamline threat and vulnerability response to a few days
