Best Practices for Threat and Vulnerability Response & Emergency Assessments

It’s a tough reality: cyber threats and vulnerabilities aren’t slowing down. Each new attack or zero-day exploit sends third-party risk management teams into overdrive, racing to protect their organizations. These events may differ in their details, but the result is the same—rapid responses and emergency assessments that can feel chaotic, stressful, and disruptive. The good news? It doesn’t have to be that way. With the right preparation and strategies, you can turn these high-pressure moments into controlled, effective processes.

Next week, we’re hosting a CPE-accredited webinar to dive deep into this topic. Join us on February 27th at 1:00 PM EST for an expert-led session on Best Practices for Threat and Vulnerability Response & Emergency Assessments. Our speaker, Scott West, VP of Product Marketing at ProcessUnity, brings a wealth of experience to the table. Before joining ProcessUnity, Scott spent years shaping the tech and software startup world, wearing hats in product marketing, senior sales, and executive leadership. He’s launched countless products and navigated more challenges than most, making him the perfect guide for this discussion.


What You’ll Gain from the Webinar

In this session, Scott will share actionable insights to help you prepare for and respond to threats with confidence. Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll cover:

  • Gain Visibility into Your Vendor Ecosystem: Preparation starts with knowing your battlefield. Scott will walk you through how to map your third-party network—vendors, software, services—and spot vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. This visibility cuts reaction time and limits exposure when threats strike.
  • Identify Critical Third Parties Fast: Not every vendor needs immediate attention during an attack. Learn how to quickly pinpoint which third parties are tied to a specific threat actor or vulnerability, so you can prioritize your response effectively.
  • Leverage Quick-Assess Campaigns: Manual outreach wastes precious time. Scott will demonstrate how automated quick-assess campaigns can scope the impact, distribute targeted questions to vendors, and score responses—all in a fraction of the usual time.


Why This Matters Now

The next zero-day vulnerability could hit tomorrow—or today. Waiting until it does to figure out your plan isn’t an option. By attending, you’ll walk away with practical steps to build a response plan that’s proactive, not reactive. Plus, this CPE-accredited session earns you credits while equipping you with tools to stay ahead of the curve.
