Third-Party Involvement in Cybersecurity

One challenge in controlling cybersecurity with third-party involvement is the loss of control over security practices and data handling.
Outsourcing can end up costing more due to the need for additional resources and management oversight.
A common reason for outsourcing is to take advantage of specialized expertise or to reduce costs.
Third-party arrangements present a risk from an information security perspective because the enterprise has limited control over the third-party's security practices and data handling.
It is difficult for enterprises to control third-party providers because of the complexity in managing multiple vendors with different security standards and practices.
Operating on different standards for third-party providers can lead to inconsistencies and gaps in security, making it difficult to ensure the integrity of the enterprise's information systems.
