In this episode, Tom Zinzi (Federal Sales Manager, BitSight) breaks down the results and implications from a recent BitSight Insights report which analyzes the security posture of US government contractors and subcontractors. Given that 50% of data breaches happen through third parties, US government agencies must ensure that their cybersecurity practices are not at risk due to their contractors and subcontractors.

Listen as Tom discusses the importance of vendor risk management and continuous monitoring in the federal space, and best practices to proactively mitigate federal risk using Security Ratings.
