If you manage third-party cyber risk, you’ve seen it all: meaningless scorecards, black-box tools, and endless frameworks that never quite connect to business impact. Third-Party is the podcast built for the people behind the dashboards. The ones managing 5,000 vendors with a team of three. Hosted by Jeffrey Wheatman, Ferhat Dikbiyik, and Bob Maley, this show unpacks what actually works (and what doesn’t) in TPRM. No fear tactics. No buzzwords. Just unfiltered conversations, sharp insights, and the occasional roast of a really bad SIG questionnaire.

    Whose Breach Is It Anyway?

    Whose Breach Is It Anyway? When a vendor gets breached and data is exposed, whose breach is it anyway, and who actually pays the price? In this episode, we break down why finger-pointing after every breach is becoming the default response and what that means for real security outcomes. You’ll learn how shared data creates shared damage, and how leaders can respond smarter when third-party risk becomes a crisis. In this episode of Third Party, hosts Jeffrey Wheatman, Bob Maley, and Ferhat Dikbiyik dig into the uncomfortable truth behind vendor breaches, accountability, and transparency. From supply-chain incidents to public disclosure, they explore why blame doesn’t fix breaches. And what actually helps organizations recover, protect customers, and reduce future risk. What this episode covers: Why “whose breach is it anyway” is the wrong question—and the better ones to ask How finger-pointing delays response and increases long-term damage The hidden risks of third-party and supply-chain breaches When transparency helps—and when it can backfire Who ultimately bears the cost of a breach: vendors, companies, or customers Don’t risk repeating the same mistakes after your next vendor incident. Learn how to move past blame, protect your customers, and respond to breaches the right way…before shared damage becomes permanent damage.

    The Biggest Lie in Cybersecurity

    Who owns cyber risk in third-party relationships? In this episode of Third Party, we tackle one of the most urgent questions facing security leaders today: who is actually accountable for third-party risk when something goes wrong? If you’re a CISO, risk leader, or executive trying to avoid blame, regulatory fallout, or career-ending mistakes, this conversation delivers clarity you can act on immediately. Hosted by Jeffrey Wheatman, Bob Maley, and Ferhat Dikbiyik, this episode breaks down the real difference between ownership, responsibility, and accountability in third-party cyber risk. The hosts unpack why CISOs are often blamed for risks they don’t own, how boards and executives should be involved, and why documenting risk decisions matters more than ever as regulators and courts increase scrutiny. This discussion explains how misaligned risk ownership leads to firings, fines, and failures—and how to prevent that inside your organization. What you’ll learn in this episode: How to define ownership vs. accountability in third-party cyber riskWhy CISOs should inform risk, not silently absorb itWho actually owns financial risk when vendors failHow to document risk acceptance so it doesn’t come back on youWhy regulators and boards are forcing clearer risk decisionsHow to communicate third-party risk in business and financial termsDon’t risk being the one blamed when a third party breaches your ecosystem. Learn how to clearly assign ownership, document accountability, and protect both your organization and your career—before the next incident forces the issue.

    The Truth About AI in Risk Management

    AI risk models are changing how organizations assess vendors, quantify cyber risk, and make high-stakes decisions, but most leaders don’t truly understand what’s happening under the hood. In this episode, AI risk models are stripped down and stress-tested to reveal where automation adds clarity, where it creates blind spots, and why overconfidence in models can quietly increase risk. If you’ve ever struggled to explain or defend an AI-driven decision, this conversation delivers the context you’ve been missing. Hosted by Bob Maley, Jeffrey Wheatman, and Ferhat Dikbiyik, this episode of Third Party explores why all models are inherently flawed, how AI amplifies both insight and uncertainty, and why human judgment still matters in third-party risk management. The hosts unpack real-world examples from vendor scoring, cyber risk quantification, and executive decision-making to show why explainability, defensibility, and adaptability matter more than perfect accuracy. Don’t risk trusting models you can’t justify. Learn how to use AI without surrendering accountability before the wrong decision gets made for you.
