Connected Data Exposes Hidden Third-Party Risk

Moody's analysis examines how third-party risk is shifting as financial institutions strengthen banking controls, pushing illicit activity toward trade and commercial relationships. The piece discusses how artificial intelligence (AI) and continuous monitoring are transforming risk detection approaches for enterprises. Organizations need to assess risks beyond their direct business partners as the threat landscape evolves.

Why it matters: Financial services and enterprises managing third-party relationships must expand monitoring scope to detect illicit activity migrating through supply chains and indirect business connections, particularly as regulatory pressure tightens direct banking controls.
