Third Party Risk Management and The Cloud
Summary
This article discusses the growing trend of migrating Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) systems to the cloud. It highlights the potential benefits, such as improved scalability, faster disaster recovery, and enhanced compliance and security, while also acknowledging potential downsides and caveats of such cloud deployments.
IFF Assessment
Moving TPRM to the cloud can offer defenders better scalability and disaster recovery, which are beneficial for security operations.
Defender Context
As organizations increasingly rely on third-party vendors and cloud services, effective TPRM becomes crucial for managing the attack surface. Defenders should focus on robust vendor risk assessments and ensuring cloud-based TPRM solutions are themselves secure and well-configured to prevent new vulnerabilities.
