Many companies carefully review each and every vendor.


Almost none review their vendor's vendor.


This creates one of the biggest blind spots in modern risk management.


Your payroll vendor may use a third-party AI provider.


Your software company may rely on multiple subcontractors.


Your logistics provider may depend on dozens of suppliers across the globe.


Every one of these relationships creates additional risk.


Cybercriminals are exploiting fourth-party relationships to gain access to enterprise systems.


Regulators are paying attention as well.


You need to turn your attention to your vendors' vendors.
