Welcome back to our Overcoming Cybersecurity Headwinds blog series—inspired by my latest webinar about third party risk with Marc Crudginton, CISO at Howard Hughes Corporation. In our last blog, we explored the wisdom of centrally managing cyber risk efforts across your organization and your third-party supply chain—a strategy that helps you do more with less in an era of budget constraints. Today, we dive deeper into the core of efficient Third Party Risk Management (TPRM): Automation.

Historically, IT and OT have operated in separate worlds, each with distinct goals and protocols. IT, shaped by the digital age, has always emphasized the protection of data integrity and confidentiality. In this space, a data breach can lead to significant consequences, making it crucial to strengthen digital defenses.

The then-new 2014 NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) was designed to plug security gaps in operational technology. It’s still in use today and more relevant than ever. Fortra’s whitepaper provides a cohesive review of this security staple and how to glean the best out of it for your strategy.

The importance of cybersecurity is no secret in our increasingly digital world. Even individuals who have no experience or expertise in tech or related fields are aware of the threat of hacking, phishing, and the like. It can be difficult, however, to actually quantify the risks of being targeted by these attacks.
