There is a growing urgency among CISOs due to the inadequacy of traditional GRC platforms in managing third-party risk. Investment in GRC tools has increased, yet overall visibility has decreased, causing dissatisfaction. The adoption of AI for risk management has increased to 66%, showing significant progress, although 85% of organizations still lack comprehensive visibility into their threat landscape.
