SUMMARY:Webinar | Your Vendor Passed the Questionnaire. Now What? Rethinking Third-Party Risk for the AI Era
DESCRIPTION:Traditional third-party risk management has often centered around questionnaires and point-in-time assessments\, but today’s vendor ecosystems are changing faster than those processes can keep up. \nIn this WiCyS webinar\, Cisco will explore how AI\, cloud dependencies\, fourth-party risk\, and continuous monitoring are reshaping the way cybersecurity teams evaluate and manage third-party risk. \nCisco will also discuss how organizations can move beyond the “pass/fail” vendor assessment toward a more dynamic\, risk-based approach that combines automation and continuous intelligence with the human judgment still required to make meaningful risk decisions. \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live. To earn CPE/CEU credits with the following providers\, you must meet the minimum requirements: \n\nGIAC/(ISC)2: attend for a minimum of 45 minutes or the entirety of the webinar\nCompTIA: attend for a minimum of 60 minutes or the entirety of the webinar (webinar topic must relate to the certificate being renewed)\n\nAttendees who meet the requirements can log into BrightTALK to print out their attendance certificates to submit for CPE/CEU credits. \nRegister for this webinar and view the recording if you are unable to join live.
