Third-party risk management (TPRM) is the structured process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks posed by external vendors, suppliers, and service providers. These risks can include cyber threats, data breaches, regulatory violations, and financial instability, all of which can severely impact your organization’s security and compliance posture.

We’ve all been there—staring at code, hoping no hidden traps are waiting to cause chaos down the line. That’s where secure code reviews come in. Think of them as your last chance to catch those pesky bugs and vulnerabilities before they wreak havoc. And here’s a little reality check—those cutting-edge LLMs? They suggest insecure code 30% of the time. So, even with AI on our side, we still need to stay sharp.

This malicious tactic enables cybercriminals to sneak into an organization’s email network or other systems without the payloads typically associated with harmful software. The payloadless method leverages harder-to-detect malware delivery techniques and psychological manipulation to execute attacks. It reflects the ingenuity of threat actors and emphasizes the need for organizations to never stop revamping their security strategies.
