## Watch Summit

UpGuard’s 2026 higher education research report revealed a vendor ecosystem defined by scale, shared suppliers, decentralised purchasing and changing risk between formal review cycles. In this follow-on webinar, we’ll turn the report’s findings into a practical playbook for managing higher education’s shared vendor risk challenges.

We’ll cover how to:

* **Manage critical shared vendors: **Use existing evidence, peer insight and continuous monitoring to manage widely adopted platforms more efficiently.
* **Tame the long tail:** Right-size assessments for niche, departmental and research tools based on exposure and criticality.
* **Make reassessments matter: **Focus reviews on the changes that actually affect risk, from new integrations and AI features to unresolved deferrals.
* **Act between assessment cycles:** Build playbooks for supplier breaches, zero-days, credential leaks, fourth-party exposure and regulatory changes.

Attendees will leave with a clearer playbook for managing higher education third-party risk in a way that is risk-based, scalable and grounded in the realities of institutional environments.
