This Month's Topic:  Description:  As adversaries continue to improve their scanning and exploitation efforts through known and previously unknown attack surface vulnerabilities (e.g, zero days), it is incumbent on every organization to adopt a stratagem combining continuous monitoring of the attack surfaces of their entire 3rd party ecosystem with an aggressive plan to intelligently inform and work with the 3rd parties in the identification and remediation of the most impactful, highly targeted attack vectors.  As companies continue to outsource their products, processes and programs to vendors and suppliers - and thus spread their operational risk - their reputational and financial exposure is increasing every day.   We will look at the current cyber environment and discuss the necessary platform elements to stay one step ahead.
