Tim Marley, VP for Audit, Risk, and Compliance at Cerberus Sentinel, comments on how to mitigate third-party cybersecurity risk, at IndustryWeek.
“Assess potential vendors prior to a contract and continue to assess these vendors no less than annually. Take a reasonable approach to your vendors based on their relationship to your systems and data. For those critical third parties, take a deeper dive. Consider not only confidentiality, but also availability. Keep in mind that your third party’s viability as an ongoing organization may have a direct impact on your abilities as well.”
