Get real-time visibility into the risk posture of third parties to protect your business value chain. 

Identify and respond to third-party threats

<br>
66% of organizations are not confident their vendors would notify them of a data breach. Recorded Future's Third-Party Intelligence provides your security and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) teams relevant information on your vendors and partners, allowing your teams to quickly identify threats to your business continuity, assess security controls, and report on aggregate risk.

Allow your security and GRC teams to leverage Recorded Future intelligence to continuously monitor for threats across vendors and suppliers including breaches, ransomware extortion, malicious communication with threat actors, and the dark web so you can take appropriate actions and mitigate risks.

Identify real-time threats to your third parties

Enhance your security and GRC teams' understanding of the security posture of new third parties, empowering you to make informed decisions with critical insights into security incidents, vulnerable infrastructure, and security hygiene practices. 

Assess new vendors faster and more comprehensively

Automatically identify 4th Parties, enabling analysis for emerging threats across the third party portfolio. Significant reduction in manual research time is achieved through the vulnerability exposure reporting capability, allowing analysts to automatically assess if a third party is exposed to critical vulnerabilities, thereby minimizing the need for time-consuming vendor communications.

Streamlined 4th Party Identification Enhances Threat Analysis

Empower your teams with comprehensive risk profiling and reporting capabilities, incorporating risk scores for over 5 million companies. This streamlines report generation, allowing more time for proactive risk management. Additionally, the platform enables quick assessment of vendors' vulnerability exposure and provides valuable insights into ransomware trends.

Key capabilities

Third-party cybersecurity threats, including vendor cybersecurity threats, come from working with outside vendors and suppliers. These risks can occur when a third party's security measures are weak or non-compliant with standards, leading to potential data breaches, reputational risks, or other operational issues. Proper risk assessment and management are essential to protect information security and mitigate these threats.

What are third-party cybersecurity threats?

Mitigating third-party risk, or third-party risk mitigation, involves conducting a risk assessment, performing due diligence, and implementing security controls. A strong Third Party Risk Management program helps in managing the risk level and protecting sensitive data.

How can organizations mitigate third-party risk?

Many of the most common third-party risk management practices employed today lag behind security requirements. Static assessments of risk — like financial audits and security certificate verifications — are still important, but they often lack context and timeliness. Organizations following traditional approaches to managing third-party risk often use these three steps:

1. They attempt to understand their organization’s business relationship with a third party and how it exposes their organization to threats.
2. Based on that understanding, they identify frameworks to evaluate the third party’s financial health, corporate controls, and IT security and hygiene, as well as how these factors relate to their own organization’s approach to security.
3. Using those frameworks, they assess the third party to determine whether it is compliant with security standards like SOC 2 or FISMA. Sometimes they conduct a financial audit of the third party.

While these steps are essential for evaluating third-party risk, they don’t tell the whole story. The outputs are static and cannot reflect quickly changing conditions and emerging threats. The analysis is often too simplistic to produce actionable recommendations. Sometimes, the final report is opaque, making it impossible to dig deeper into the methodology behind the analysis. All of these factors create blind spots that leave decision-makers unsure whether crucial pieces of information might have been overlooked. When assessing third-party risk, do not rely entirely on self reporting questionnaires or a vendor’s inwardly focused view of their own security defenses. Round these out with an external, unbiased perspective on the vendor’s threat landscape.


Why do traditional third party risk assessments fall short?
