About this event
State, local, Tribal, and territorial governments have unique challenges when it comes to managing third-party and supply chain risk. A lack of real regulatory requirements, increasing dependence on vendors, and threats capitalizing on third party vulnerabilities to reach “downstream” targets are at an all-time high.
Join us for a panel discussion where our experts will discuss the history of supply chain attacks and methods for managing your own risk. We will cover tools and techniques in vendor management, incident response-readiness, and risk management practices along with ideas to identify risk in key supplies, as well as suppliers.
Topics we will cover:
