The

Problem

Your extended ecosystem is a complex web of interconnected business relationships which continue to extend your risk surface across your third parties and beyond. Many organizations rely on their third parties to monitor their fourth parties, using passive methods of enforcement, including contracts, SLAs, warranties, and self-assessments that provide point-in-time information and no validation. Without a clear understanding of the business relationships and risk surface of your extended ecosystem, outages, disruptions, and compromises can threaten your organization, holding you liable for data loss, and making it difficult to achieve any level of cyber resiliency.
