THIRD PARTIES: A GATEWAY FOR CYBER THREATS
Organizations today depend on sprawling supply chains, interconnected vendors and outsourced services to bring benefits to their business. But these third-party relationships also introduce significant cybersecurity risk. Third parties often have privileged access to the data, systems, and networks of the organizations they help but may not have the same robust cybersecurity posture. Cyber attackers often exploit this by using a weak link within a supply chain to breach confidential data or gain a foothold into a connected organization. Ultimately, an attack on your third parties is an attack on you.
Attackers can leverage the compromised credentials of an external entity or vulnerabilities within their infrastructure to gain initial access. Once inside, threat actors can access sensitive data - credentials, financial records, intellectual property - and may even move laterally and infiltrate an organization further downstream. A data breach can have devastating consequences for any targeted organization: the erosion of stakeholder trust, delays in output, and costly legal fees have long-lasting effects.
Third-party risk is not a matter of checkbox compliance. Organizations have limited visibility of third-party security posture and shouldn’t rely solely on third-party assessment forms. Without continually monitoring your digital threat landscape, it can be difficult to see a cyber incident stemming from a third-party relationship until it is too late. Intel 471 can help you dramatically reduce your third-party exposure through our direct engagement with top-tier threat actors and automated intelligence collection from the cyber underground environments 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.
POWER THE DETECTION AND DISRUPTION OF THIRD-PARTY RISK
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, breaches, and compromised credentials, and mitigate the potential for successful attacks.
THIRD-PARTY VULNERABILITY MONITORING
Gain timely insights into the vulnerabilities affecting your third parties and the goods they supply. Compre-
hensive monitoring of the cyber underground provides near-real-time insights into the life cycle of vulnerabili- ties and the threat actors who may be exploiting them. By tracking precursors to exploitation, you can prioritize mitigation and remediation efforts.
THIRD-PARTY BREACH MONITORING
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.
THIRD-PARTY COMPROMISED CREDENTIALS MONITORING
Get real-time alerts when compromised third-party credentials are leaked or offered for sale on cybercriminal marketplaces. Intel 471 provides comprehensive visibility across the cyber underground, access to exclusive data sets acquired through direct threat actor engagement, and billions of unique data points for enhanced visibility of compromised credentials for sale.
MITIGATE THIRD-PARTY RISK, MAXIMIZE BUSINESS ADVANTAGE
Detect Fast, Mitigate Faster
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.
Visibility of Third-Party Attack Surface
Pre-empt where your adversary may strike from. 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.
Get Ahead of Attackers
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 and closed forums where cybercriminals sell data and plan attacks. We alert you to indications that your third-party vendor may soon be compromised.
Drive a Decisive Response
Intel 471 lets you know which threats need to be addressed first. By pivoting to intelligence reports and dashboards on compromised credentials, data leaks, vulnerabilities, and the threat actors behind them, Intel 471 fully contextualizes each threat so that you can prioritize your security response appropriately.
Intelligence Integrated at Every Level
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.
Strengthen your Supply Chain
Apply your assessments to support due diligence when onboarding of external entities. This ensures that weak links are not incorporated within your supply chain early to reduce the overall risk of third-party exposure.
