Risk Intelligence

Risk intelligence is the practice of mapping global threats against a specific organization's ecosystem to produce actionable, contextualized findings, as distinct from broad threat intelligence, which describes the threat landscape in general terms. It answers the question: does this global threat affect my vendors, and if so, how? Black Kite's risk intelligence outputs include FocusTags®, the Vulnerability Intelligence Brief™ (VIB™), the Ransomware Susceptibility Index® (RSI™), the Adversary Susceptibility Index™ (ASI™), and Financial Impact Ratings.
