When most people think about mitigating cyber risk from their business service providers, they usually think of their banks, IT service providers, or their software manufacturers.

We’ve recently explained why these sectors are so crucial to monitor: they hold sensitive data on company earnings, trade secrets, and personally identifiable information (PII) on employees and customers. The recent data breaches of prominent newswires is a perfect illustration of what can happen when the cyber performance of third parties holding sensitive information is overlooked. In this breach, hackers accessed nonpublic information which resulted in more than $100 million in profitable trades.
