Safeguard against attacks and threats that may arise from your partners' environments.
Organizations today depend on global supply chains, interconnected vendors, and outsourced technology service providers. Third parties with varied security postures can introduce significant cybersecurity risk due to their privileged access to your data, systems, and networks. Ultimately, an attack on your third parties is an attack on you and these attacks are on the rise. Breaches involving suppliers doubled from 15% to 30% in 2024.
Organizations have limited visibility of third-party security posture and shouldn’t rely solely on vendor security questionnaires to manage third-party cyber risk. Intel 471 can help you dramatically reduce your third-party exposure through our Third-Party Exposure module — a dedicated CTI-powered tool for monitoring the external attack surface of your priority vendors. Our CTI platform enables your teams to pivot to near real-time data on breaches impacting your third parties, enabling your teams to proactively adapt security controls and policies when these incidents occur. The Third-Party Exposure module provides insights into mentions of entities you monitor on data extortion leak sites, marketplaces, and relevant compromised credentials.
The module is underpinned by Intel 471’s unmatched adversary intelligence and our global team of analysts who collect threat intelligence through direct engagement with top-tier threat actors and automated intelligence from marketplaces and platforms where they plan, coordinate, and operationalize cyber attacks. Knowing when these events impact your third-parties is critical for proactively improving your own security posture.
Intel 471 helps you enhance your risk posture and shift the odds in your favor with our highly contextualized CTI. Gain unparalleled insight into emerging threats stemming from third-party vulnerabilities and breaches to mitigate the potential for successful attacks.
Gain timely insights into the vulnerabilities affecting your third parties and the goods they supply. Comprehensive monitoring of the cyber underground provides near-real-time insights into the lifecycle of vulnerabilities and the threat actors who may be exploiting them. By tracking precursors to exploitation, you can prioritize mitigation and remediation efforts.
Proactively track data breaches impacting your key third parties. With visibility into malware infrastructure, underground marketplaces, and unparalleled access to top tier threat actors, you can quickly identify when a third-party has potentially been breached or is in an attacker’s crosshairs.
Pre-empt from where your adversary may strike. Schedule continuous scans of your third parties’ external attack surfaces to monitor for weaknesses, such as exposed assets, misconfigurations, and unsecured credentials that may be abused by threat actors.
Continuous monitoring of sources exclusive to our collection capabilities, including closed forums and data leak blogs, provides early detection of vulnerabilities, exposed credentials and leaked data linked to your third parties. The faster you are alerted to a potential threat, the faster you can work to limit its impact.
Intel 471 supplies you with pre-attack indicators to ensure you’re not defending on the back foot. We have exclusive insight into malware at the command-and-control level, and a foothold in key underground marketplaces, instant messaging channels, closed forums where cybercriminals sell data and plan attacks. We alert you to indications that your third-party vendor may soon be compromised.
Intel 471 lets you know which threats need to be addressed first. By pivoting to intelligence reports and dashboards on data leaks, vulnerabilities, and the threat actors behind them, Intel 471 fully contextualizes each threat so that you can prioritize your security response appropriately.
Seamlessly integrate our API with your internal tooling systems to automate and enhance overall risk insight. Enhancing operational workflows to strategic decisions, our real-time intelligence supports every area of your organization.
Apply your assessments to support due diligence when onboarding external entities. This ensures that weak links are not incorporated within your supply chain early to reduce the overall risk of third-party exposure.
Intel 471’s Third-Party Exposure is a set of capabilities that are designed for organizations who need to reduce risks associated with third-party interactions, products, and services. Our Third-Party Exposure provides customers with threat intelligence to assist with the identification and remediation of risks introduced by interconnected vendors, customers, and other third-party entities.
