What level of access are applications requesting and then receiving directly from your employees? Is the security team aware? Has the risk been quantified? Who is looking at the application Terms and Conditions or the End User License Agreement? Is the access overly permissive? What happens if the application vendor is hacked? Can the attacker access your data? Is the vendor liable?

Eric Walters, CISO and Director of IT Operations at Burns & McDonnell, will discuss these and many more perils and pitfalls of vetting applications and plugins.
