What role does continuous security testing play in TPRM programs?

Continuous security testing plays a crucial role in identifying and mitigating emerging third-party risks in dynamic vendor ecosystems by providing ongoing visibility into the security posture of external partners. By continuously monitoring and assessing the security controls and practices of third-party vendors, organizations can proactively identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, or other security issues that may pose a risk to their data and systems. This enables them to take timely actions to address these risks, such as implementing additional security measures, requiring remediation from vendors, or even terminating partnerships if necessary to protect their data and systems from potential threats.
