Organizational Cybersecurity is only as strong as its weakest third-party link

The recent Harrods breach affecting 430,000 customers serves as a critical reminder that organizational cybersecurity is only as strong as its weakest third-party link.

This incident underscores three essential elements every organization must prioritize: 1. Continuous Third-Party Risk Assessment - It's no longer sufficient to vet vendors during onboarding. Organizations need ongoing monitoring of their suppliers' security postures, including regular audits, security questionnaires, and real-time threat intelligence integration. 2.
