Cybersecurity is typically viewed as the boogeyman, and vendors are responsible for 63% of reported data breaches in organisations. And as businesses grow, they will use more and more third parties to provide specialty services. Typical cybersecurity training programs focus on phishing awareness and email hygiene. This is not enough. Navigating Supply Chain Cyber Risk: A Comprehensive Guide to Managing Third Party Cyber Risk helps companies establish cyber vendor risk management programs and understand cybersecurity in its true context from a business perspective.The concept of cybersecurity until recently has revolved around protecting the perimeter. Today we know that the concept of the perimeter is dead. The corporate perimeter in cyber terms is no longer limited to the enterprise alone, but extends to its business partners, associates, and third parties that connect to its IT systems. This book, written by leaders and cyber risk experts in business, is based on three years of research with the Fortune 1000 and cyber insurance industry carriers, reinsurers, and brokers and the collective wisdom and experience of the authors in Third Party Risk Management, and serves as a ready reference for developing policies, procedures, guidelines, and addressing evolving compliance requirements related to vendor cyber risk management. It is unique since it provides strategies and learnings that have shown to lower risk and demystify cyber risk when dealing with third and fourth parties.The book is essential reading for CISOs, DPOs, CPOs, Sourcing Managers, Vendor Risk Managers, Chief Procurement Officers, Cyber Risk Managers, Compliance Managers, and other cyber stakeholders, as well as students in cyber security.

THE AI CRISIS IS FICTIONAL. THE BLUEPRINT IS REAL.By 2038, autonomous agents will manage trillions of dollars in global assets. But when speed outpaces governance, efficiency becomes fragility. Governing AI Risk blends a near-future thriller with a field manual for leaders who can’t afford blind spots. Follow the fictional journey of Aaron Goldcrest, a successful venture capitalist, as his team confronts cascading failures in the agentic economy—and learn how the RIVER Charter™ standard helps global organizations stay resilient. Featuring All-Entity Risk Management (AERM™), the Cognitive Handshake™ for auditable human–AI decisions, and DataCapital Protocol™ for blockchain-grade data lineage.“In a world of AI agents, trust becomes an active utility and execution is the differentiator. RIVER turns risk into momentum by giving teams the rails to move safely at breakneck speed. A pragmatic playbook for the next decade of finance and beyond.”— Brad Levy, CEO of ThetaRay“This book should be required reading for every board member and C-suite executive who still believes cybersecurity is someone else’s problem. The river of risk is rising, and those who don’t learn to navigate these new currents will find themselves in dangerous waters.”— Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy, Co-Founder & CEO, SecurityScorecard“Enterprise AI transformation isn’t about deploying technology—it’s about reimagining how data, people, and systems create value together. Golbin’s framework provides leaders with the essential roadmap for navigating this transformation responsibly and profitably.”— Swamy Kocherlakota, Executive Vice President of Agentic AI Security, Zscaler“In my world, we don’t build a global financial system on promises; we build it on verifiable cryptographic controls. We build for survival—treating the worst case not as a possibility but an inevitability: segregated custody so one vault’s failure doesn’t drain the rest, redundant cutover paths so there are three ways home, and phishing-resistant approvals so an attacker stalls out.”— Jeff Lunglhofer, CISO, Coinbase; former CISO, BNY
