2019 Georgia Tech Cybersecurity Summit:
Ensure Your Trusted Partners and Vendors Don't Become a Weak Link
You may have protected your enterprise against data breaches and other forms of cyber attack, but what about your partners? In today’s hyperconnected world of cloud services, third-party suppliers, and trusted vendors, every data connection leaves you vulnerable to an array of threats.

At the 2019 Georgia Tech Cybersecurity Summit, experts presented about how to manage privacy breaches, denial of service, theft of trade secrets, and other risks that can occur across your supply and partner value chain.
