Blackwired, a prominent cyber observatory specializing in cutting-edge cybersecurity technologies, has introduced a groundbreaking solution known as ThirdWatch℠ to identify and address direct threats affecting an organization and its Third Parties.
ThirdWatch℠ serves as a subject-directed monitoring platform offering a comprehensive 360-degree view in 3D of existential threats impacting organizations, along with the associated cyber risks posed by their vendors, partners, suppliers, networks, and digital assets. By employing a non-invasive, zero-touch technology process, ThirdWatch℠ generates Direct Threat Intelligence and cross-references this data with traditional vulnerability assessment information to create evidence-based scoring and specific solution sets aimed at mitigating all direct cyber threats.
This innovative platform introduces a fresh category – Direct Threat Risk Management – by amalgamating the features of Attack Surface Management (ASM) and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) tools. It surpasses conventional offerings by providing enhanced usability, substantial value, and unique Direct Threat Intelligence to users.
At the core of ThirdWatch℠ are crucial features like Direct Threat Intelligence, Direct Threat Mitigation, Third-Party Risk Management, Network Vulnerability Assessment, 3D Visualization, a comprehensive Ecosystem, and Evidence-Based Scoring. The platform is designed with five key configurations to cater to different organizational needs: Enterprise, Audit, Managed Service Provider (MSP), Incident Response (IR), and Legal.
According to Jeremy Samide, CEO & Co-founder of Blackwired, “Implementing a ‘defend forward’ mentality is crucial. To combat modern threats, organizations need to pivot to a proactive approach to threat management, seeking out threats and neutralizing them before they escalate into attacks. ThirdWatch℠ empowers organizations to identify and eliminate direct threats that jeopardize core operations, subsidiaries, and affiliates while mitigating risks posed by third parties in their ecosystems.”
By ensuring compliance with third-party regulatory cybersecurity requirements, ThirdWatch℠ helps organizations navigate potential supply chain disruptions caused by cyber events. With the platform, management teams can monitor the effectiveness of their cybersecurity operations, swiftly access cyber threat landscapes, and maintain a digital witness record of pre-event direct threat intelligence.
Blackwired leverages industry and government expertise to offer innovative solutions integrating cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, edge computing, blockchain, and quantum computing. The strategic integration is anchored in a proactive prevention methodology, notably different from traditional reactive cybersecurity measures.
The launch of ThirdWatch℠ signifies a significant advancement in cybersecurity strategy, enabling organizations to bolster their cyber resilience and protect their digital assets in the face of a rapidly evolving threat landscape. With cyber risks on the rise, ThirdWatch℠ offers a proactive defense mechanism to help organizations stay ahead of malicious threat actors.
