As organizations increasingly rely on cloud platforms, SaaS applications, and specialist technology providers, managing critical third-party dependencies has become a fundamental business continuity and operational resilience challenge.

Featuring expert insights from SES Secure Account Director, Darragh Lavin, and Head of Technology, Tom Sweet, this webinar explores the growing role of third-party technology in delivering critical business services, the risks associated with modern supplier ecosystems, and the potential impact of vendor disruption.

Attendees will gain guidance on how to identify and map technology dependencies, uncover hidden supplier risks, assess concentration and single-point-of-failure exposures, and develop effective recovery strategies. Through practical insights and real-world examples, the session will help organizations strengthen resilience across their technology supply chain and better prepare for supplier failure or unforeseen circumstances.
