WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gartner Summit/Booth #1026 –– Prevalent, the third-party risk and vendor threat intelligence innovators, today announced vendor threat management technology as a “must have” solution for data-driven businesses of all sizes.
“Third-party data breaches, threats and vulnerabilities are rising and putting tremendous pressure and responsibility on CIOs and IT professionals tasked with securing organizational information,” says Norman Menz, CTO and Co-Founder, Prevalent. “As such, third-party risk management is a must-have technology for data-driven businesses – not only for compliance and regulatory purposes but to provide true visibility into the risk posture of an organization's partners and to create a shared understanding of gaps that should be resolved to effectively reduce risk.”
The increasing need for third-party vendor threat management technology has made it a priority for CIOs and IT professionals, and caught the attention of industry-leading analysts at Gartner, who recently announced plans to introduce a Magic Quadrant for next-generation Vendor Risk Management.1
To demonstrate how businesses can proactively address third-party security threats, Prevalent is showcasing its Vendor Threat Monitor™(VTM) vendor threat intelligence platform, along with its Vendor Risk Manager® (VRM) solution at this week’s Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2014 in Maryland. These industry-leading technologies allow organizations and IT professionals to continuously and proactively monitor key threat vectors from third-party providers.
The combination of Prevalent VTM and Prevalent VRM goes beyond point-in-time assessments by providing organizations with continuous monitoring and automated alerts of third-party risks and threats. This “real-time” risk and assessment helps enterprises adhere to industry compliance requirements and provides peace-of-mind by proactively identifying potential third-party risks before they become legal liabilities to the business. These best-in-class, cloud-based technologies help businesses automate, manage and monitor third- and fourth-party vendors with greater ease, efficiency and coverage across any number of vendor relationships.
“The time is now for businesses to get serious about third-party vendor risk management,” says Jonathan Dambrot, CEO and Co-Founder, Prevalent. “The stakes are high and the risks are everywhere and anywhere. Without the right technologies and monitoring services, businesses are open to catastrophic and costly data breaches.”
