Northeast FL ISSA Chapter Meeting: Continuous Vendor Intelligence
About this Event
Continuous Vendor Intelligence: Modernizing TPRM for the AI Era
Speaker: Johanns Quiroz, Sr. Sales Engineer @ Lema AI
Abstract
For years, Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) has been built around a simple assumption: the greatest risk occurs when a new vendor is introduced into the organization. Security teams perform due diligence, approve the vendor, and revisit the relationship months or even years later. Artificial intelligence has fundamentally changed that model. Today's greatest governance challenge is no longer evaluating new vendors. It is understanding how trusted vendors continuously evolve after they have already been approved. AI copilots, autonomous agents, new data-sharing practices, MCP integrations, and rapidly changing vendor capabilities are transforming enterprise software faster than traditional review cycles can keep pace. This session explores why AI is reshaping the software supply chain, how traditional TPRM programs are falling behind, and what security leaders can do to evolve from periodic assessments to continuous vendor intelligence. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for identifying meaningful vendor changes, prioritizing risk, and building security programs that are designed for the pace of AI innovation.
