Third-party risk is the most critical threat to Australian businesses today. Architecture practices face particular risks due to their reliance on large volumes of data and third-party systems. Practice management and accounting software, CRMs and Revit are often vendor-managed, limiting control. Join the ACA and Frances Russell from FooForce on Wednesday 5 March for essential insights on managing cybersecurity risks related to suppliers.
