TRUSTWAVE LAUNCHES FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND CYBER SUPPLY CHAIN RISK ASSESSMENT SOLUTION
FOR THE PACIFIC REGION

In The Face of Increased Concern About Vendor Cybersecurity Risk, Company Behind
SolarWinds Vulnerability and GoldenTax Discoveries Creates Fully Scalable
Solution

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Trustwave, a leading managed security services provider
focused on managed detection and response, has launched a first-of-its-kind
cyber supply chain risk assessment solution for enterprises and SMBs in the
Pacific region. The service, called Managed Vendor Risk Assessment (MVRA), gives
organisations access to deep, fully scalable cybersecurity vendor assessments
formerly prohibitively expensive.

Demand for this solution has been driven by organisations increasingly reliant
on external vendors for the provision of data processing and storage services,
as well as a range of other cloud-based or security-sensitive services. Greater
outsourcing and deeper integration with vendors means heightened supply chain
risk exposure.

In addition, recent supply chain breaches discussed extensively in the media,
including the SolarWinds Orion breach, have raised awareness of the need to move
away from ad hoc vendor assessments or those built solely on technology which
frequently miss vulnerabilities or lead to bad commercial outcomes for both
parties.

“Part of the reason we built MVRA is our concern for the cyber resilience of the
enterprise space. We are encountering gaps in organisations where vendors are
left unassessed because of the perceived cost. MVRA gives organisations the
ability to assess a large number of vendors with a consistency of measurement
not possible before while still leveraging the expertise of genuine security
consultants. For these organisations and the wider community, scalability brings
safety,” said Nick Ellsmore, global head of strategy, consulting & professional
services at Trustwave.

Ellsmore said that MVRA is a solution informed by decades of real-world
consulting experience on the cybersecurity frontlines married to best-in-class
risk assessment technology.

This technology has been developed by Findings – whose platform is a global
solution of choice in VRM automation for enterprises and vendors of all sizes.
By automating the labour-heavy process of vendor assessments, Findings allows
for fuller coverage of the organisation’s supply chain, and therefore heightened
security and lower supply chain risk.

“While conventional methods apply a Pareto cutoff to invest their manual
resources in some of their vendors, current attacks have shown this approach’s
vulnerabilities and the need for wider coverage,” says Kobi Freedman, co-founder
and CEO of Findings. “Security friction is becoming a global challenge on supply
chains, whether from regulatory or objective risk.”

Ellsmore added, “MVRA uses Findings’ technology to accelerate and harmonise
critical elements of the audit. Riding on top of this is a layer of experience
and strategic human cybersecurity thinking specifically applied to deliver the
best outcomes.”

“It takes people to assess people. Purely technological solutions to the vendor
supply chain risk are sometimes adequate but often come up short because they
tend to minimise real risk while amplifying smaller risks. They don’t apply a
business thinking lens.”

Ellsmore also said that part of the challenge is what he calls “Go/No Go”
decisions about third-party suppliers. These decisions are being made without
enough information and consistency. For example, a fully automated supply chain
assessment might lead a company to rule out a vendor too quickly without
considering the business implications.

“What we’re seeing is unintended cybersecurity consequences,” Ellsmore said. “A
marketing department, for instance, gets rid of a very effective customer
engagement technology based on a superficial vendor risk assessment, only to
find three months later everyone on the team is surreptitiously using a handful
of different, unvetted solutions to fill this gap.”

Based on 25 years of cybersecurity services experience and thousands of risk
assessments, the service encompasses both an automated and specialist-led
assessment, built on a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that is easy to use
by organisations of all sizes.

The MVRA service provides:

 * Streamlined process to onboard vendors and collect essential data, including
   penetration test reports, audit reports, and technical and organisational
   data;
 * Comprehensive security maturity questionnaire built on the NIST Cybersecurity
   Framework that is both reasonable and realistic for vendors to complete;
 * A further review of each vendor’s responses and data conducted by a skilled
   Trustwave specialist who understands possible indications and implications of
   vendor risk. Each answer and security asset is reviewed by our experts for
   completeness and accuracy;
 * For each vendor assessed, a report is delivered within eight days. The report
   identifies the vendor’s maturity and risk rating on a consistent scale,
   helping clients understand the potential risk exposure as it pertains to the
   nature of their business – the type of system, sensitivity and volume of
   data, and nature of the supply chain link;
 * Assessment reports also importantly deliver an impact analysis with
   recommendations for remediating gaps and issues for each vendor.
