"Today's enterprises rely on an intricate web of vendors, partners, and technologies that extend well beyond direct control. This creates exposure to supply chain compromises, unmanaged "shadow AI" projects, and vulnerabilities hidden within software components. Addressing these risks requires visibility, governance, and proactive security strategies. This Expert Series provides your company with the opportunity to reach an engaged audience of IT buyers and influencers who are actively evaluating solutions to these challenges. An expert speaker provided by ActualTech Media will deliver the presentation, covering real-world practices for strengthening supply chain defenses, managing AI-driven risks, and leveraging SBOMs to mitigate hidden threats. As a sponsor, all you'll need to do is provide a single slide and a short message. Everything else—expert presentation, production, and audience recruitment—will be managed for you, ensuring maximum exposure with minimal effort.

Vendor Fit
Security vendors, compliance solution providers, AI governance platforms, and supply chain risk management companies would benefit from sponsoring this event.
