Kharon named Risk Management Company of the Year by SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards. By Kharon Staff Kharon has been named Risk Management Company of the Year by the SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards, an annual program recognizing excellence, innovation, and impact across the global supply chain and logistics technology sectors. The SupplyTech Breakthrough Awards honor companies, products, and technologies that are helping advance the future of supply chain and logistics operations. The program celebrates organizations applying technology, data, analytics, and innovation to solve some of the industry's most complex challenges - from transportation and warehousing to traceability, resilience, compliance, and risk management. For Kharon, this recognition reflects the work we do every day to help companies confront a growing reality: supply chain risk management has become a business-critical priority. Organizations must now understand not only who they buy from, but who sits behind their suppliers, where materials originate, how goods move, and whether hidden commercial networks create regulatory, operational, or reputational exposure. As supply chains become more complex and scrutiny intensifies, traditional due diligence is no longer enough. Supplier questionnaires, self-certifications, and conventional screening tools may provide a starting point, but they often fail to reveal the indirect ownership, hidden affiliations, and sub-tier relationships where risk can concentrate. Kharon gives organizations visibility into these hard-to-detect vulnerabilities. By combining AI-driven technology with expert human research, Kharon surfaces risks that may otherwise remain hidden, giving supply chain, procurement, trade compliance, and responsible sourcing teams the intelligence needed to identify exposure earlier and make more defensible decisions. This is what makes the SupplyTech Breakthrough recognition especially meaningful. As threat actors use increasingly sophisticated evasion tactics to exploit supply chain vulnerabilities, companies need more than visibility. They need evidence-backed intelligence that reveals exposure, supports prioritization, and enables confident risk management. Kharon delivers this intelligence through solutions designed to surface hidden risk and support deeper investigation. With Kharon ClearView, GraphCast, CoreStream, and API, organizations can uncover risks they otherwise may have missed, from complex ownership ties to broader network exposure. Kharon data can also be easily accessed via our many supply chain mapping and traceability partner platforms. This Activation Network allows companies to screen, monitor, investigate, and assess supply chain risk inside the systems they already use, but with more complete and extensive network data. That capability is increasingly important as exposure extends beyond the first tier into deeper supplier networks, where visibility is often limited but regulatory, operational, and reputational consequences can be significant. By making risk intelligence available inside existing systems, Kharon enables stronger supply chain resilience without disrupting established workflows. This is what makes the SupplyTech Breakthrough recognition especially meaningful. As global supply chains grow more opaque and risk moves deeper into commercial networks, companies need more than visibility. They need evidence-backed intelligence that reveals exposure, supports prioritization, and enables confident risk management. Kharon is pleased to be recognized as Risk Management Company of the Year and remains committed to advancing the way organizations identify and manage hidden supply chain risk before it becomes operational, regulatory, or reputational harm.

European network conference on Research Security. May 26 - 27, 2026 About this event. Kharon's Ethan Woolley will be exhibiting at ENCORS 2026, hosted by TU Delft. Request a 1:1 meeting to see how Kharon helps research security professionals identify hidden entity relationships, surface undisclosed connections, and assess collaboration risk before it compromises the integrity of your research program. Explore our Research Security Solutions to learn more about how leading institutions use Kharon to protect their research programs. What Kharon brings to research security: * Entity network mapping: go beyond surface-level name checks. Kharon maps the ownership structures, funding relationships, and affiliations that standard due diligence misses - including connections to sanctioned entities and state-controlled institutions. * Foreign interference risk: identify when prospective collaborators, visiting researchers, or funding sources have direct or indirect ties to foreign state actors or programs of concern. * Regulatory alignment: our data supports compliance with NSPM-33 disclosure and screening requirements, Canada's STRAC Named Research Organization (NRO) framework, and UK Trusted Research guidance, and is calibrated to the institutional-level due diligence requirements emerging across European research security programs. * Continuous monitoring: research partnerships evolve. Kharon provides ongoing monitoring so that a clean check today doesn't become an exposure tomorrow. Research Security Industry Event Thank you for registering.
