US Edition
Shift from reactive Vendor Risk Management compliance to Active Supply Chain security, satisfy tightening SEC and board mandates, and turn your resilience into a strategic business advantage.

Supply chain security in the United States has reached a pivotal moment. As high-profile breaches expose vulnerabilities deep within vendor networks, organizations are realizing that their defenses are only as strong as the weakest links in their supply chains.
This report, based on insights from 1,000 US CISOs and risk leaders, reveals a critical gap between recognition and capability: while security leaders know they need extended supply chain visibility beyond their immediate third parties,
