The November 2025 breach at SitusAMC, a critical vendor for financial giants like JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, serves as a stark reminder: in today’s interconnected world, your security is only as strong as your weakest link. Hackers successfully infiltrated this third-party service, exposing customer names, addresses, and even Social Security numbers. This supply-chain attack confirms that vendors handling sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII) are now prime targets, shifting the cybersecurity risk perimeter far beyond a bank’s own firewall.

The business and cybersecurity risks stemming from this incident are immense. Beyond regulatory fines and costly client notifications, breaches of this scale fundamentally erode vital customer trust and invite intense federal scrutiny (FBI investigations are underway). The core issue highlighted by this event is **Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM)**—the systemic inability to consistently audit and enforce robust security standards across the entire outsourced ecosystem that supports your operations.
