In alignment with the strategic theme of "Transforming Resilience. Countering Threats," this workshop addresses the critical need for robust third-party risk management (TPRM) programmes, especially in the face of increasing supply chain breaches. With 97% of UK companies impacted by these breaches, according to BlueVoyant’s research, the urgency for transformation is clear. Objectives: Transform Resilience: Equip participants with strategies to strengthen their supply chain resilience against evolving cyber threats. Countering Threats: Provide tools and insights to proactively counteract vulnerabilities in third-party suppliers. Key Components: Real-World Case Studies: Analyse the impact of incidents like the 2024 Palo Alto Networks zero-day vulnerability on business operations. Discuss lessons learned and best practices for resilience. Effective TPRM Strategies: Develop a comprehensive cyber TPRM program to mitigate risks throughout the vendor lifecycle. Address challenges such as personnel shortages, data collection, and regulatory compliance. Advanced Technologies: Explore technologies for automating, monitoring, and remediating critical supplier vulnerabilities. Highlight tools that enhance efficiency and threat detection. Outcomes: Participants will leave with actionable insights to transform their TPRM programmes, fortifying their defences and building resilience to counter future threats effectively.
