By reviewing the third party's history of cyberattacks. Make sure to choose those that have a good security culture and good measures in place so that you are not attacked through their systems.
3. Implement Security Controls
To protect your data and systems in the long term. This may include firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and data encryption. Access to your data should be a privilege, not a right.
