🚨 In 2024, over 35% of cyber breaches were traced back to third-party vendors. And 98% of organisations had at least one vendor with a known security incident.

For AV/IT vedors and suppliers, cybersecurity is no longer a checkbox, it’s a contract-winning capability. If you want to grow, scale, and lead in your industry, you must treat cybersecurity as core to your business strategy and imperative.

Your engagement with clients is not just about delivering tech, you're embedded their digital ecosystems. In the current threat landscape, that means you must meet their Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) requirements with clarity, confidence, and credibility.
