As AI becomes an increasingly critical component in the digital supply chain, tech buyers are struggling to appropriately measure and manage their AI risk. Keeping tabs on emerging risk from the AI technology they use is hard enough. But often the most crucial AI business functions that organizations depend upon aren’t directly under their control or care, but instead are governed by the tech vendors that embed them into their underlying software.

Cyber risk is the potentially negative impact to an organization when information systems fail or are damaged, disrupted or destroyed by unauthorized use or by cyberattack. In the world of risk management, risk is commonly defined as threat times vulnerability times consequence. The objective of risk management is to mitigate vulnerabilities to threats and the potential consequences, thereby reducing risk to an acceptable level.

Cyber security monitoring is the practice of continuously observing IT systems to detect cyber threats, data breaches, and other security issues. By helping to identify threats early, monitoring solutions can help to mitigate attacks faster and limit the damage they can do. Monitoring solutions may track activity on networks as well as endpoints like individual laptops, mobile phones, desktop computers, and IoT devices.
