See past your direct vendors
Practical approaches to mapping and triaging risk that extends into your fourth- through Nth-party ecosystem, not just the vendors you contract with directly.
A working session for Oklahoma's security and risk leaders on where fourth- and Nth-party exposure actually hides — and what AI is changing about how fast it moves.
Most third-party programs stop at the vendor they signed a contract with. The exposure that actually causes incidents sits one or two hops further out, in the Nth-party ecosystem nobody's watching — and it's compounding as AI tools get folded into everyday vendor operations. This session is built for Oklahoma's cyber community to get in front of it.
Practical approaches to mapping and triaging risk that extends into your fourth- through Nth-party ecosystem, not just the vendors you contract with directly.
Devon Energy walks through a real triage story: what the exposure looked like, how it was assessed, and what changed afterward.
Where AI adoption inside your vendor base is creating new exposure, and how to build visibility into it before it becomes a finding.
A half-day built for Oklahoma-based practitioners to compare notes with others doing this work in the same region.
