Black Kite, a third-party cyber risk management platform, has launched Open FAIR™-Based Risk Assessments, extending its cyber risk quantification capabilities to its AI-powered assessment offering. The new feature automates calculations of probable financial impact from data breaches, ransomware attacks and business disruptions using the Open FAIR™ methodology. The technology integrates risk quantification directly into the assessment workflow, enabling customers to calculate financial risk during vendor onboarding and periodic reviews. Users can conduct "what-if" analysis to model different scenarios, such as how sharing varying amounts of data with vendors affects financial risk. The platform automatically populates Open FAIR™ factors using assessment responses, uploaded documentation and continuous monitoring insights. Black Kite serves over 3,000 customers and monitors more than 40 million companies.

Black Kite, a cybersecurity firm specialising in third-party cyber risk management, has launched ThreatTrace, a capability that uses NetFlow and DNS telemetry to detect indicators of compromise through internet traffic flow analysis. The company claims to be the first third-party cyber risk management vendor to incorporate this level of visibility into risk monitoring and ratings. ThreatTrace analyses over one trillion internet traffic flows to detect threats including botnet infections, suspicious outbound activity, active threat actor targeting, traffic baseline deviations, and geopolitical risks. The tool identifies when organisations' digital assets connect to malicious infrastructure, high-risk regions or unusual services. The Boston-based company serves over 3,000 customers and monitors more than 40 million companies. The new controls are added under Black Kite's IP Reputation risk category.
