TrustChain (Ep1): Reimagining Third-Party Risk in an Agentic AI World

Third-party risk is no longer a secondary concern. It has become the primary threat vector for enterprise compromise. Q4 marked a structural inflection point: Attackers stopped targeting enterprises directly and instead exploited trusted vendors, open-source maintainers, SaaS integrations, and AI platforms – often without triggering immediate detection. The result? Silent exposure, cascading outages, regulatory fallout, and brand damage that boards are now feeling firsthand. Traditional TPRM models – static questionnaires, annual reviews, and trust-based reporting – were not built for this reality. Why this matters now: 🔵 AI accelerates risk while creating new blind spots in vendor oversight Open-source ecosystems now behave like critical infrastructure 🔵 SaaS and API trust chains enable lateral compromise at machine speed 🔵 Vendor patching and remediation have become operational risk events 🔵 Insurance is retreating, shifting exposure back to the balance sheet The question is no longer “Do we trust our vendors?” It’s “Do we have real-time visibility, verification, and resilience when they fail?” In this live session, we’ll explore: 🔵 How agentic AI is reshaping supply chains and third-party trust assumptions 🔵 Why vendor criticality must be measured by blast radius, not contract size 🔵 What “continuous assurance” actually looks like in practice 🔵 How CISOs are adapting governance, identity, and incident response models now About TrustChain Trust is no longer a belief. It’s an operational discipline. TrustChain is Ballistic Ventures' newest cohort, bringing together security leaders to reframe third-party risk for the AI era – moving from compliance theater to operational resilience architecture. This session marks the public launch of our ongoing working forum focused on reimagining third-party risk management (TPRM), supply chain security, and AI governance. Attendees will be invited to future sessions, working groups, and in-person discussions. TrustChain is backed by Ballistic Ventures portfolio companies advancing the future of TPRM: Nudge Security and Zip Security.
