Show Notes
In a highly interconnected digital economy, securing your organization requires looking past your direct vendors and actively managing the security of their subcontractors. This episode breaks down how emerging regulatory mandates—such as the EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), the 2026 CISA Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) baseline, and NYDFS Part 500—are transforming how enterprises must govern fourth-party dependencies. Listeners will gain actionable, executive-level insights on enforcing contractual security flow-downs, mapping downstream concentration risks, and stopping "shadow IT" at the procurement gate.
