Third-Party Risk • Black Kite
Your Cyber Risk Doesn't Stop at Your Firewall.
Continuous Third-Party Cyber Risk Intelligence.
Your organization depends on vendors, suppliers, SaaS providers, cloud platforms and external partners. Corvus Watch uses Black Kite technology to help organizations understand cyber risk across their vendor ecosystem and prioritize the relationships that require attention.
The Problem
Your Risk Doesn't Stop With Your Direct Vendors.
Modern businesses depend on increasingly complex ecosystems of technology providers, suppliers and external partners.
A security issue at one organization can create operational, financial or security consequences elsewhere in the ecosystem.
Traditional questionnaires and point-in-time assessments can provide useful information, but they can become outdated as vendor environments and threats change.
Corvus Watch combines third-party risk advisory with Black Kite intelligence to create a more continuous view of vendor cyber risk.
