SUMMARY:VCSP Member Meeting - Using Data to Hold Vendors Accountable | July 2026 Webinar
DESCRIPTION:**Data vs. Goliath: Using Data to Hold Vendors Accountable** \nWhen vendor promises don’t match operational reality\, how do you prove it? In today’s security landscape\, organizations rely heavily on third-party platforms\, yet dashboards\, telemetry\, and reported outcomes don’t always align with what teams observe in practice. \nThis session explores how structured data collection and analysis can transform vendor disputes into measurable outcomes. Drawing from real-world experiences across cloud security\, infrastructure\, and vendor management\, Megan Atkins Elliott shares practical techniques for identifying performance gaps\, validating concerns\, and building evidence-based cases for action. \nAttendees will learn how to collect meaningful metrics\, challenge vendor claims with objective data\, communicate findings to leadership\, and create accountability without damaging strategic partnerships. When trust is tested\, data becomes your strongest ally. \nSpeaker bio: \nMegan Elliot | Director\, Cloud Security Engineering; Elliot Security Intelligence Consulting \nMegan Atkins Elliott is a cloud security leader specializing in transforming complex technical data into strategic business outcomes.
