Black Kite today announced Adversary Susceptibility Index (ASI). Purpose-built for Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) teams, ASI empowers them to proactively identify which vendors in their ecosystem are most vulnerable to specific threat actors before threats become a breach.
ASI builds on Black Kite’s Ransomware Susceptibility Index® (RSI™) by mapping ransomware exposure to the specific threat actor groups behind the risk. ASI does this by revealing vendors that exhibit known vulnerabilities, behaviors, or configurations linked to that actor’s tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs); exposure indicators, such as open RDP ports, unpatched CVEs, or stealer log leaks; and third parties warranting immediate outreach and coordinated remediation. As a result, organizations can quickly and accurately identify which vendors are most likely to be targeted based on each group’s known behaviors, tools, and tactics, adding precision and context to their prioritization strategy.
Key Features and Benefits Include:
- Threat Actor Intelligence for Suppliers: Instantly see which vendors align with a known adversary profile
- Vendor Sorting by Susceptibility: Prioritize outreach based on real-world exposure and targeted actor tactics
- Industry and Geography-Aware Risk: Assess risk with contextual intelligence, including actor-specific industries, regions, and motivations
- Proactive Vendor Engagement: Deliveractor-specific insights to suppliers to accelerate mitigation and build trust
ASI brings a new level of precision to cyber risk management by embedding threat actor intelligence directly into third-party risk workflows. Rather than relying on static indicators, ASI enables organizations to prioritize suppliers based on real-world adversary behavior. With this capability, Black Kite delivers a unified, intelligence-driven approach to vendor cyber risk.
