Vendor networks and cloud environments are multiplying the ways sensitive data can be compromised, and it shows: third-party and supply chain exposure is now considered a material cybersecurity threat by 82% of firms – the highest of any risk category. If you don't have full visibility into where your data lives and who touches it, you're not alone – but that gap is becoming harder to defend to your board.

AI is forcing a rethink of what "prepared" even means. Almost half of firms expect AI to pose a significant cybersecurity risk by 2030, yet many are increasing their AI-monitoring technology spend far faster than they're investing in the people needed to govern it. The result is a widening gap between tools and judgment – precisely the kind of blind spot that turns a manageable incident into a major one.

Verdantix brings independent, data-driven clarity to a conversation full of noise. Drawing on original research spanning 25 countries, six regions and 10 industries, this webinar looks past the surface-level narratives to focus on what's actually changing: how leading firms are governing third-party risk, where AI genuinely raises exposure, and how to align cybersecurity strategy with the realities your organization faces today – not the ones from two years ago.
