    To align them with your network security policies, you need to first identify the vulnerabilities that this software has. This is so that you would know what risk this third-party software could pose to you. You need to then find ways to secure your network. This is so that you would be able to minimize the risk that this software could pose to your network. You must also try to minimize the usage of this software if possible until you find another reliable third-party software. This is to avoid your network from being at risk of a cyber threat.
