In this episode:  When it comes to third party analysis, what if we leaned on trust more than trying to calculate risk? Should we have a “glass half empty” or a “glass half full” attitude towards third party risk? Wouldn't it be better to measure the level of how much we can TRUST the 3rd party? Is it vitally important to assess how resilient the organization is to failure caused by each third party?
