Identify Third-Party Risk in Conexxus Webinar

Coalfire will share insights on why retailers should consider a third-party risk management program.

July 14, 2017

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Sam Pfanstiel, solution principal at Coalfire, will present a free Conexxus webinar, “Third-Party Risk Management: How to Identify and Manage Data Security Risks from your Vendors,” on Thursday, July 27, at 12:00 pm EST.

Today, most organizations have relationships with dozens, hundreds or even thousands of suppliers, vendors, service providers, contractors and subcontractors. When a company enlists these third parties, it entrusts its operations, brand and data to the supplier—but it doesn’t shed any of its data security obligations. Indeed, the PCI DSS, data privacy laws and multiple regulatory agencies are clear on this: Enterprises must ensure that the data security standards of their vendors are consistent with their own, and they are potentially held liable themselves when those third parties suffer security lapses.

In recent years, the number of cyber security incidents originating from outside vendors has increased dramatically. The now infamous Target credit card data breach was a watershed event, demonstrating just how much companies could be impacted by third-party security vulnerabilities. Thus, third-party risk oversight has become a key strategic priority.

Webinar attendees will learn:

  • Why third-party risk management matters to every enterprise
  • The third-party risk management requirements articulated in PCI DSS v3.2
  • Best practices, recommendations and resources for establishing an effective third-party risk management program
