Why Automation Is Creating More Cyber Risk

Automation vs Accuracy in TPCRM is one of the biggest challenges in modern third-party risk management. In this episode, we break down how the push for faster automation is impacting accuracy, and what that means for your TPCRM program. If you’re relying on automation to scale vendor risk assessments, this conversation will help you avoid costly blind spots and make smarter decisions.

Jeffrey Wheatman, Bob Maley, and Ferhat Dikbiyik unpack the real tradeoffs between speed and accuracy in TPCRM, exploring how automation can both strengthen and weaken your risk posture. They discuss the dangers of over-relying on data, where AI-driven decisions fall short, and why human judgment still plays a critical role in identifying real risk. This episode is essential for anyone responsible for vendor risk, cybersecurity, or compliance who wants to scale effectively without sacrificing confidence in their decisions.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How automation in TPCRM can unintentionally increase risk

  • The hidden tradeoffs between speed and accuracy in vendor assessments

  • Why more data doesn’t always lead to better decisions

  • Where AI and algorithms fall short in real-world risk scenarios

  • How to balance automation with human judgment for better outcomes

  • Practical ways to improve visibility and decision-making in your TPCRM program

Don’t risk scaling bad decisions faster. Learn how to balance automation and accuracy to protect your business.
