Our take

An estimated one in four organisations suffered from a cyber-attack in the last year, hackers often attack companies through third parties, working their way into the organisation through supply chain security vulnerabilities. Black Kite is the world’s first global third-party cyber risk monitoring platform, combining cyber ratings and quantitative risk to provide vulnerability management solutions.

Infamous ransomware groups such as Conti and REvil have invested in improving their methods of gathering information and finding an organization’s valuable assets. Black Kite’s suite of standards-based cyber risk assessment programs (which includes a Ransomware Susceptibility Index) provides a three-dimensional view of the health and safety of a company’s entire security ecosystem, uncovering cybercriminal loopholes.

The company has been focused on expanding its workforce and product development as it squares up against a slew of competitors including BitSight and VisableRisk. However, its simplified and comprehensive management solutions, position Black Kite to be the category-leading third-party cyber risk platform.
