Session: What to Do When Your Vendor is Breached
Speaker: Stacy Arruda, Arruda Group
Time: 8:30-9:30 am
Vendor and Third-Party breaches are becoming the common vector of entry into specific organizations. Your organization may be doing everything it can to harden your network, and “bad guys” know that.  They simply shift focus to a less secure path of entry, vendors and third parties.  What do you do when your vendor is “hacked?”  What should you be doing before the vendor is “hacked?” Does your Incident Response Plan have specific contingencies for this?  What should you be doing post “hack?” Stacy Arruda Bio Here
