If there is one work-related New Year's resolution I'd like CISOs to make as we enter 2020, it's to give the challenge of third-party cyber risk the attention it needs.

If CISOs continue to focus cybersecurity tools and resources within the company perimeter, they are fighting the wrong battle in an increasingly multi-front cybersecurity war.

One of the most important things CISOs can do to put the appropriate focus on third-party cyber risk is to make it a corporate reputation issue requiring support and oversight from C-suite and board executives.

CISOs in 2020 must become stronger advocates for shifting from reactive to proactive cybersecurity postures.

With the right resolve and the right support from the cybersecurity industry, CISOs can take charge of this challenge in 2020, commit to shifting their focus toward third-party cyber risk, and engage C-suite and board executives about the strategic importance of doing so.
