Welcome back to our Overcoming Cybersecurity Headwinds blog series—building on our latest webinar about third party risk with Marc Crudginton, CISO at Howard Hughes Corporation. In our previous blogs, we explored the wisdom of centralizing cyber risk management and automating third-party risk management (TPRM). Today, we will focus on future proofing your TPRM program.

The cloud revolution has firmly taken hold, and businesses of all sizes are adopting cloud-native technologies. This new paradigm has also created newer attack surfaces for cybercriminals, who are eager to exploit known security gaps in cloud environments. Sysdig is collaborating with Docker to deliver a more efficient process for identifying risks and opportunities for accelerated remediation in Docker Scout using runtime insights.
