Swatting flies with sledgehammers: broken TPRM programs and how to fix them (<– add to your schedule)
Third-party and supply chain risk is more important now than ever—but TPRM is also more broken and ineffective than ever. This session will review today’s common approaches to TPRM, how we got here, and how we can achieve better outcomes and reasonable assurance with less work. We’ll also explore what that shift could mean for our security programs—and for the industry as a whole. We need a hard reboot, and it has to start with each of us.
