Third-party risk: How to prevent operational disruption and regulatory breaches

While organisations continue to benefit strategically from third-party services, their risk exposure is increasing at the same time. As a result, supply chain risk management is receiving greater attention.

Although organisations have become more mature in managing cybersecurity risk, they now need to address a broader range of third-party risks. Risk management programmes must evolve quickly and remain agile.

Against this backdrop, the conference will focus on operational resilience and Nth-party visibility, hidden risk, lessons from data breaches, regulatory findings to contract remediation, third-party risk in the supply chain, third-party mitigation strategies, and managing procurement and vendor risks amongst others.

More than 20 leading experts will analyse the third-party risk ecosystem and share insights on how organisations can move from reactive responses to resilience through the right framework and team.

The Future of Third-Party Risk Conference will take place on 22 and 23 September at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, Johannesburg.
