Instant Alerts for high-profile Incidents and Looming Risks
You need to know about cyber incidents as they happen, not after the damage is done. Black Kite’s FocusTags™ give you immediate alerts on active risks, and Vulnerability Intelligence Briefs (VIBs) surface emerging vulnerabilities, so you can start acting.

The World Doesn't Wait. Neither Should Your Risk Intelligence.
Traditionally, TPRM has been reactive. Organizations rely on vendors to self-report vulnerabilities or incidents, assess risks manually, and respond to incidents after the damage is done. That approach is outdated.
Black Kite's comprehensive risk intelligence automatically flags impacted vendors – sometimes before they even know it themselves – giving you the critical edge.

Instant Insight. Total Control.
In a world where every second counts, you need intelligence that moves at the speed of the threat. FocusTags™ and Vulnerability Intelligence Briefs allow you to seamlessly pivot between immediate incident response and proactive risk mitigation.
Replace Questionnaires with Actionable Intelligence
FocusTags™ allow you to quickly pinpoint only the impacted vendors and share the precise, evidence-backed intelligence directly with them. Instead of asking, "Are you affected?" with FocusTags you can say, "We've found a high-risk vulnerability affecting your systems. Here's the evidence and the steps you need to take to fix it."
Go Risk Hunting for Imminent Threats
Vulnerability Intelligence lets you spot and mitigate vulnerabilities before attackers weaponize them. Black Kite helps you prioritize these threats based on key attributes (EPSS, CVSS, KEV, LEV, exploitability score), enabling you to take action on unexploited vulnerabilities before they become active incidents.
FocusTags™: When It Hits, You’ll Know
FocusTags™ alert you to live cyber incidents and exploited vulnerabilities affecting your supply chain, so you can move from awareness to action in minutes.

Data Breach Tags
Highlight vendors affected by confirmed data breaches, so your team can assess exposure and begin follow-up immediately.

Ransomware Tags
Get instant alerts on ransomware attacks happening in your Nth party ecosystem so you can protect your business from the ripple effects.

High-Profile Cyber Event Tags
Know about exploited vulnerabilities and impactful third-party data breaches, along with the confidence level of the product identification. Filter your ecosystem by FocusTag™ to see the breadth of the event.

KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) Tags
See companies impacted by any known vulnerabilities logged in the KEV catalog maintained by CISA, especially helpful for prioritizing remediation for newly onboarded vendors.
Vulnerability Intelligence Briefs: Risk Hunting Made Possible
Welcome to the era of proactive risk hunting, where you can get ahead of vulnerabilities before they’re exploited. By combining multiple data points (like EPSS, CVSS, KEV, LEV, and exploitability scores) we identify the handful of vulnerabilities that pose the most immediate and significant risk to your supply chain before they become a crisis.
Stop Drowning in CVEs
Over 40,000 vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2024, a 38% increase from the year before. You can't afford to chase every vulnerability. With Black Kite's vulnerability intelligence, you can narrow down the thousands of CVEs to the select few that are most likely to be exploited in your vendor ecosystem.

Black Kite’s Risk Intelligence Page
For Black Kite customers, your personalized Risk Intelligence page transforms the vast CVE database into actionable insights specific to your vendor ecosystem. You can quickly identify which vendors are impacted by known vulnerabilities
See a sample of this enriched CVE intelligence in Black Kite’s public CVE Database.

Black Kite’s Vulnerability Intelligence Briefs (VIBs)
VIBs provide a detailed breakdown of any vulnerability specific to your vendor, allowing you to dive deep into potential threats before they escalate into active exploits. Each VIB delivers comprehensive insights to understand the vulnerability, assess its potential impact on your business, and receive clear risk remediation guidance.

Timely Risk Intelligence Gives Customers Peace of Mind
“I want to make sure our members are secure at the end of the day, so knowing about issues that a third-party might be experiencing before they even send a communication has been very valuable.” – Richard Roark, Sr. VP/CTO, Bay Federal Credit Union
