In the world of cybersecurity, a critical shortage of experts is increasing. Why? The stress levels are skyrocketing, CISO roles are evolving, and quantifying cyber risks remains a major challenge. But wait, there’s more! Remote work is unveiling extended workplace risks, including those posed by small but potent outsourcing firms known as 2.5 party risks. Adding to the mix, AI-based solutions are stepping into the limelight, sparking debates about their status as third-party risks or lurking internal threats. And as we open the door to Web 3.0 and blockchain, we’re met with both thrilling opportunities and complex challenges. Amid all this, safeguarding cloud infrastructure stands tall as a top priority. Welcome to the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity!

In today’s dynamic business environment, outsourcing has become a budget-friendly norm. However, the rise of non-major suppliers, or “2.5 party”, presents new challenges. Join us as we delve into the intricacies of 2.5 party risk management and its role in mitigating risks in an increasingly outsourced workplace.
- As remote work becomes more prevalent, can we apply the same risk management strategies used for major suppliers to our remote workforce? Discover why even small-scale outsourcing firms can pose substantial security threats and learn strategies to address these risks.
- With the ongoing shift towards remote work and outsourcing, how will this impact the future of our workplaces? Will we see a surge or decline in these trends? As these changes redefine our workplaces, it’s crucial that our cybersecurity strategies evolve in tandem. Join us to explore these pressing questions and more.

- The rise of remote work has transformed the way we conduct business. But with this shift comes new security challenges. How secure are these remote locations, especially when there’s no clearly defined clause on where one can work remotely? Join us as we explore the revolution of remote work and outsourcing.
- As smaller outsourcing companies (2.5 parties) become more prevalent, should they be viewed with the same scrutiny as large third-party suppliers? Whether they’re engaged for budget reduction or one-time projects, learn how organizations are adapting their security posture to include 2.5 PRM as a crucial component.
- As we move away from traditional business models, what are the best practices to protect against these emerging risks? Engage in a thought-provoking discussion on agile security strategies designed to address the cybersecurity challenges posed by this transformation.

- As AI development accelerates, it’s increasingly being viewed as a potential third-party risk. How rapidly is this landscape evolving, and how can we keep pace? Join us as we delve into the intensifying debate surrounding AI-based solutions.
- If an organization utilizes AI-based solutions from a supplier, it’s considered a third-party risk. But what if the solution is developed in-house? Traditionally, employees are seen as potential inside threats, but should this view extend to internally developed AI programs, given their capabilities?
- Just because a solution is AI-based doesn’t necessarily mean it’s immune to AI-based attacks. Could our AI-based security solutions potentially become our vulnerabilities? Engage in insightful discussions within the CISO community about AI’s role in the risk landscape and understand the importance of assessing the security implications of integrating AI-based solutions.
