Philadelphia This Month: Steps to Vetting Your Third-Party Vendors 

Written by SecureWorld News Team | Thu | Mar 1, 2018 | 12:23 PM Z

Sometimes what is easiest and most cost effective in InfoSec comes with hidden risk.

“In the world of cybersecurity, you are only as strong as the weakest link in your vendor chain," says cybersecurity attorney Rebecca Rakoski. "The ease, convenience, and cost effectiveness of outsourcing certain business functions frequently overshadows the potential pitfalls lurking in using outside third-parties and vendors.”

She is the co-founder and managing partner at XPAN Law Group, a certified Women Owned boutique law firm. She focuses exclusively on cybersecurity and data privacy.

She is also leading a session at the SecureWorld Philadelphia cybersecurity conference on March 28-29. Because now, more than ever, you need to properly vet your vendors.

“This presentation will discuss the steps your organization needs to take to ensure that any partners or vendors with access to your network systems or company data are meeting (at least) a minimum level of security requirements.”

Join your peers for the 15th annual SecureWorld Philadelphia at the Sheraton Valley Forge Hotel on March 28-29, 2018.
