Guest Speakers:



The rapid adoption of third-party vendors to drive digital health and other key initiatives has resulted in exponential risk to the health system. Transforming vendor risk management enables healthcare organizations to deliver safe, compliant, and highly-performant third-party outcomes throughout the vendor relationship lifecycle.
Censinet CEO and Founder Ed Gaudet will lead a panel discussion with healthcare CISOs on how to build an effective vendor risk management program. We will discuss how CISOs and their teams can radically transform the way in which they manage third-party relationships, automating much of the work and leveraging collective intelligence from across our network to help get ahead of risk. We will discuss how automation enables health systems to coordinate and collaborate more efficiently to identify, remediate, and predict risk, with powerful visibility, insight, and decision-making capabilities.
