Cyber attackers are increasingly targeting smaller companies as entry points into larger investment networks. As a result, private equity firms are taking a more active role in overseeing cybersecurity risk across their portfolio companies.
Using data from ACA Vantage for Cyber, our proprietary portfolio cybersecurity monitoring solution, ACA experts Greg Slayton and Aaron Pinnick will share key insights drawn from 2025 portfolio company risk assessments. The session will highlight common high-risk areas, emerging trends, and how effective oversight can materially reduce cyber risk exposure across portfolios.
Attendees will also gain practical guidance on the controls that portfolio companies should prioritize to improve resilience and reduce risk.
