Black Kite

Black Kite is a company specializing in third-party cyber risk management solutions. Their platform provides businesses with real-time, accurate risk intelligence, going beyond simple risk scores to offer a comprehensive understanding of cyber ecosystem risk. They utilize a standards-based methodology, relying on open-source intelligence (OSINT) to passively scan a company's digital footprint and assess their vulnerability across numerous controls. This allows Black Kite to provide a holistic view of a vendor's cybersecurity posture, factoring in technical, financial, and compliance aspects.

Black Kite's services are tailored to various industries, including healthcare, finance, manufacturing, technology, and government. They offer a range of features, such as ransomware susceptibility index (RSI), focus tags to identify vendors impacted by high-profile cyber events, and a vendor engagement platform, Black Kite Bridge, designed to streamline communication and collaboration on risk mitigation efforts. Their mission is to improve the health and safety of the global cyber ecosystem, empowering organizations to operate with confidence and resilience.

They aim to illuminate third-party cyber risk by combining business and threat intel at depth and scale, offering a comprehensive platform for cyber risk detection and response in the supply chain.
