If you are a CISO, a board member or an executive with responsibility over information security and compliance at an enterprise, stop and read this amazing article by CybersecurityHQ right now: https://newsletter.cybersecurityhq.com/p/the-interdependence-collapse-why-fortune-100-cisos-are-losing-control-of-their-security-outcomes
It very clearly articulates the major challenges security programs are suffering from right now. My favorite quotes:
"Your third-party risk program is theater. Point-in-time questionnaires and annual SOC 2 reviews do not detect the vulnerabilities that matter. They exist to satisfy auditors, not to prevent breaches. The Salesloft-Drift attackers operated for six months before detection. Annual assessments would not have found them."
"Sixty percent of your breach exposure now sits in domains you depend on but cannot control. Your security program is optimized for the 15% you own."
"Your board does not understand the ecosystem it is accountable for. Only 17% of organizations report their leadership fully understands third-party cyber risks. The SEC is watching. Disclosure requirements are tightening. Fiduciary exposure is expanding. Ignorance is not a defense—it is a liability."
