What if Cyber isn't a collection of siloed problems, but a puzzle waiting for a unified picture? In this TED-style talk, we re-frame third-party risk, control assurance, issues management and business transformation as interlocking pieces of a single coherent system. Drawing on real-world modernization of third-party risk management, integrated IRM workflows, and policy integration touch points, we'll show how to connect business needs, regulatory obligations, and operational practices into an elegant whole.
