Threat Actor

A threat actor is an individual, group, or nation-state that conducts cyberattacks. Understanding which threat actors are active, what vulnerabilities they prefer, and whether your vendors are exposed to their known tactics, techniques, and procedures is the domain of adversary monitoring. Black Kite's Adversary Susceptibility Index™ (ASI™) maps named threat actors to specific vendor exposures.
