What Is Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)?

Your security team has hardened your perimeter. You have MFA enforced, endpoint detection running, and your crown-jewel systems are locked down tight. Then a vendor you onboarded two years ago, a mid-size SaaS tool your procurement team signed off on, gets breached. They had access to your customer data. Now it is your problem. This is the third-party risk problem in one paragraph. And it is why TPRM has moved from a compliance checkbox to a board-level conversation.

Is GRC Cool Again? How Mythos and Frontier AI Models Are Bringing a New Focus to Governance and Risk Management

For the record, I always thought the GRC was cool. NIST Framework? Yes please. Vendor risk register? Tell me more! Not everyone shared my enthusiasm for effective and efficient cyber risk reduction. Until now. Suddenly, seemingly overnight, managing the digital supply chain became really, really important. AI governance (a phrase that didn’t even exist a year ago) is now the topic of boardroom discussions. Yes, it will look different and operate in a new way.

Streamlining CMMC Compliance: How Bitsight Empowers the Defense Industrial Base

For organizations within the Defense Industrial Base (DIB), the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 represents more than a regulatory hurdle. It is becoming a core requirement for doing business with the Department of Defense and for protecting sensitive information across the defense supply chain.

The One Cybersecurity Policy Every Small Business Needs (And Most Don't Have)

Most small business owners have thought about cybersecurity at some point. Maybe after reading a headline about a ransomware attack. Maybe after a coworker clicked a sketchy email. Maybe after their IT company mentioned it in passing. But thinking about cybersecurity and actually having a policy in place are two very different things. Businesses that invest in proper cybersecurity services are far less likely to suffer a costly breach, yet most small businesses are still operating without one critical layer of protection: a formal Acceptable Use Policy.

Back to the Fundamentals: Reflections from the IACIS BCFE Event in Orlando

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, speed is often treated as the ultimate objective. Organizations are racing to adopt AI-driven technologies, automate workflows, reduce response times, and deliver faster outcomes. Digital forensics is no exception. Forensic examiners increasingly rely on tools that automate large parts of the analysis process, helping reduce the time required for complex investigations. But this raises an important question: at what cost?

SecurityScorecard Weekly Brief: The Driftnet Edition on Critical Infrastructure - Gilad F. Maizles

In this week’s Weekly Brief: The Driftnet Edition, Cyber Researcher Gilad F. Maizles breaks down new SecurityScorecard research powered by the company’s acquisition of Driftnet, exposing widespread internet-facing risk inside a U.S. municipal utility provider that also operated as the town’s ISP. “Threat actors will always target the lowest hanging fruit.” Using the Driftnet engine, SecurityScorecard identified significantly more internet-facing services and attack paths than traditional methodologies.

Fireside Chat With TPRA: Three Hard TruthsAbout TPRM in the Post-Mythos Era

Frontier AI models like Mythos have intensified the urgency to rethink cybersecurity. But for third-party risk teams, the harder question remains: how do we prioritize the actions that actually drive business outcomes? As TPRM becomes more tightly tied to business impact, resilience, continuity, and revenue protection, leaders need a clearer view of the hard truths shaping their programs.
