Organizations no longer operate in isolation—they depend on a complex network of suppliers, outsourcers, agents, service providers, and partners. This extended enterprise amplifies both opportunity and exposure. In 2026, third-party risk has become one of the most critical dimensions of resilience, shaped by regulatory scrutiny, sustainability obligations, cyber dependencies, and geopolitical disruptions. This session will explore how organizations can evolve third-party risk management into third-party governance—ensuring that objectives, risk, and compliance are managed holistically across the ecosystem. Participants will learn how to leverage intelligence, automation, and continuous monitoring to manage the full lifecycle of third-party relationships, from onboarding to offboarding.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Evolve third-party risk management into comprehensive third-party governance by integrating objectives, risk, and compliance management across the entire extended enterprise ecosystem.
  • Implement intelligence-driven approaches and automation technologies to manage the full lifecycle of third-party relationships—from onboarding through ongoing monitoring to offboarding—with greater efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Address emerging third-party risk dimensions including regulatory scrutiny, sustainability obligations, cyber dependencies, and geopolitical disruptions that define the 2026 risk landscape.
