Third-party vendors play a critical role in the BFSI ecosystem, but they also introduce significant cybersecurity and compliance risks.

The discussion will also cover concentration risks in cloud and payment infrastructure, ineffective contractual safeguards, and the limitations of manual, spreadsheet-based vendor risk tracking. Participants will gain practical insights into how financial institutions can strengthen vendor oversight, improve risk classification, and move toward more scalable and resilient third-party risk management practices.
