About Black Kite
Black Kite sells a platform for third-party cyber risk management. It monitors millions of organisations to give customers visibility across their vendor ecosystem, including fourth and fifth parties. The platform uses AI to analyse external risk signals from sources such as open-source intelligence, dark web forums and vulnerability data. It provides continuous monitoring, automated assessments, cyber event response and financial quantification of risk. The company says its AI has been part of the platform from the start, not added later. It also offers an AI assistant and autonomous agents to help with investigations and reporting. Black Kite serves organisations that need to manage supply chain risk, including those in finance, healthcare, retail, government and manufacturing. It also partners with managed security service providers to deliver third-party risk intelligence to their customers.
