• Black Kite C-SCRM (Jul 18, 2024)

  U.S. government agencies are the most highly targeted organizations in the world by threat actors, stealing intellectual property to erode our competitive advantage, disrupting supply chains to diminish national security capabilities and readiness, and inflicting prolonged economic damage. State-sponsored threat actors are intent on disrupting mission-critical capabilities and readiness by attacking contractors in your supply chains. Black Kite illuminates public sector departments and agencies’ entire digital supply chains by continuously monitoring and providing actionable mitigation with the same real-time cyber intelligence used by threat actors. 

  Designed by a team of former NATO-certified ethical hackers, Black Kite is disrupting third-party risk management practices by providing risk managers and security experts with the industry’s most accurate and comprehensive cyber intelligence, resulting in unparalleled visibility into the risk vendors introduce daily into your agency’s environment. Our award-winning platform pushes the limits on predictive insights to help organizations make better risk decisions in their extensive cyber ecosystem with data that is both trustworthy and verifiable. 

  For cybersecurity and IT professionals, Black Kite’s mission is to fortify our nation's defense against invisible adversaries. Black Kite’s platform is a reconnaissance unit in its own right as a state-of-the-art AI/ ML data collection platform designed to monitor and assess external attack surfaces, tirelessly hunting down digital footprints. These footprints include IP addresses, domains, subdomains, and open ports of our targets, painting a detailed picture of their online presence and potential weak points. 

  The platform's data collection operates under the principles of non-intrusive scanning and continuous surveillance. The information is gathered clandestinely, ensuring we maintain a low profile while keeping intelligence up-to-date and actionable. In the hands of our national security services, Black Kite becomes a tactical command center. Its user-friendly interface, in-depth analytics, customizable alerts, and detailed reporting allow for rapid interpretation and action based on the data collected. 
  
  Black Kite is the world’s only fully transparent, standards-based cyber ratings platform that analyzes your supply chain's cybersecurity posture from a multi-dimensional view: technical, financial, & compliance. Our continuously updated global database of high-quality risk intelligence provides the confidence to take action, housing data on 37 million entities and counting – 4x that of our competitors. 

• BLACK KITE C-SCRM STRATEGY GUIDE (Jul 18, 2024)
  Please send an email to andrea.parado@blackkite.com to request Black Kite's C-SCRM Strategy Guide.
  
  Black Kite developed a guide to help government agencies use Black Kite to provide deep insights into your digital supply chains where it currently does not exist. We understand government agencies are under immense pressure to implement supply chain risk management programs, often forced to sift through a raft of commercial off-the-shelf products to meet stringent regulatory mandates. Coupled with the fact there are limitations of cybersecurity skilled personnel in small-to-medium size companies contracted to support U.S. government agencies, we designed this guide to help you manage rising risks for enterprise leadership, cybersecurity professionals, and non-IT professionals responsible for supplier relationships in any organization. 

  You do not need a cybersecurity background to adopt Black Kite into your decision-making process when assessing risks government contractors introduce into your agency networks. We have use cases of large commercial cyber insurance companies saving hundreds of millions of dollars in claims using Black Kite’s platform while vetting their riskiest clients. The assessors, in fact, are non-IT professionals. Black Kite has made the platform easily consumable across your enterprise for contracting officers, risk managers, policymakers, analysts, and net defenders. Your organization will therefore be better informed to decide whether to transfer, accept, or mitigate the risks to your digital supply chains. This guide is a means to help operationalize near real-time threat data, according to your agency’s risk appetite, to protect and maintain your mission from the lens of commonly used adversary targeting tactics. 

  There is a common tendency for government agencies to boil the ocean, overlooking the basic skills of “blocking and tackling” when building a program to protect critical supply chains across a massive attack surface. Lacking the insights that result in limited visibility into the vulnerabilities they present, adversaries remain unchallenged to penetrate vendor networks until they succeed. We’re providing you the tools to illuminate the cyber vulnerabilities they exploit, allowing you to remain as agile as the adversary.
