Do you Know Your Vendor Dependencies?
You're only as secure as your weakest link—and that includes not just your employees but your vendors and their employees too. You can't protect your data if you don’t know who has access to it, nor what they're doing with it. Unfortunately, most companies have no idea how many systems and people have access to their data. This session will cover why your vendors need to perform ongoing vulnerability scanning (with tools like Threat Stack); why they need to perform an annual penetration test and allow you to review those tests; why they need to be able to demonstrate how they remediated any identified security holes; why you should insist on compliance certifications (SOC2 or ISO20071); and why your vendors should establish notification thresholds <24 hours for data breaches.
