“SecureLink released its third-party data breach report with the Ponemon Institute, highlighting the gap between perceived third-party access threats and the security mitigations adopted.
The report titled “A Crisis in Third-party Remote Access Security” found that organizations were not implementing the necessary security measures to mitigate third-party remote access risks.
The failure to adopt the necessary security measures exposed their networks to potential unauthorized third-party access and compliance risks. Consequently, nearly three-quarters (74%) of organizations breached within the last 12 months said the exposure originated from granting too much privileged access to third parties.”
