Event Description
The 10th Annual Third Party & Supply Chain Cyber Security Summit stands as a leading event for senior professionals specializing in Information Security and Cyber Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM). This summit is dedicated to addressing the urgent need for robust supply chain security as organizations face escalating cyber threats and evolving regulatory requirements. In today’s rapidly changing digital landscape, ensuring the security of the extended enterprise has become a top priority for businesses worldwide.
Understanding the Importance of Supply Chain Security
As global supply chains become more digitized and interconnected, organizations are increasingly vulnerable to risks originating from third parties, open source software, and connected devices. The complexity of these networks introduces new vulnerabilities, making comprehensive cyber risk management a necessity. The summit delves into effective strategies for mitigating these risks, highlighting the significance of end-to-end supply chain security and the adoption of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and automation within TPRM processes.
Participants will explore how integrating these technologies can streamline risk identification and response, ultimately strengthening the overall security posture of their organizations. The event emphasizes the need for continuous improvement and adaptation as cyber threats evolve.
Adapting to Regulatory Developments and Compliance
Recent regulatory changes, including NIS2, DORA, the Cyber Resilience Act, and the EU AI Act, are transforming the landscape of compliance and accountability. Organizations must now implement cross-functional, data-driven approaches to meet these new standards. The summit offers in-depth analysis of regulatory readiness, legal and contractual obligations, and governance frameworks essential for effective third-party risk management.
Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning their risk management strategies with evolving compliance requirements, ensuring that their organizations remain both secure and compliant in a dynamic regulatory environment.
Enhancing Resilience Through Knowledge and Collaboration
The summit features keynote presentations, real-world case studies, interactive roundtable discussions, and hands-on workshops. These sessions provide actionable knowledge for building resilient supply chains capable of withstanding both current and emerging threats. Special focus is placed on continuous monitoring, risk intelligence, and the management of open source and SBOM risks.
Industry leaders will have the opportunity to collaborate, share expertise, and develop strategies that address the full spectrum of supply chain cyber security challenges.
