Bitsight provides external cybersecurity ratings that quantify an organization’s security posture. It collects and analyzes signals from the internet—such as exposed assets, vulnerabilities, malware activity, and misconfigurations—then converts them into a continuous risk score and rating that updates over time. This helps customers like lenders, insurers, and enterprise security teams assess risk, monitor changes, and make informed decisions. Compared with competitors, Bitsight focuses on a standardized, widely adopted ratings framework backed by ongoing monitoring across many organizations, enabling easier integration into risk management workflows. The company’s goal is to transform how organizations manage cybersecurity risk by delivering objective, data-driven, continuously updated security ratings that stakeholders can trust.

Bitsight launches dark web intelligence tool to predict third-party cyber threats before attacks unfold

Bitsight has launched Dark Web Intelligence for Supply Chains, a capability designed to detect and prioritise cyber threats across vendor ecosystems before they disrupt operations. The platform uses AI to surface real-time threat signals from deep, dark and open web sources, mapping them directly to an organisation's third-party suppliers. The system enables security teams to identify which vendors are being targeted or breached, often earlier than public disclosures. It correlates threat activity with vendor-specific exposures using the MITRE ATT&CK framework and employs Dynamic Vulnerability Exploitability scoring to predict which vulnerabilities will likely be exploited. The capability is now available as part of Bitsight Continuous Monitoring. According to the World Economic Forum, 78% of CEOs identify supply chain dependencies as a significant challenge to strengthening resilience.
