BlueVoyant Launch Platform to Tackle Supplier Attack Surface
Cloud-native cyber company BlueVoyant has unveiled its new Cyber Defense Platform, which, among other things, aims to tackle the growing attack surface introduced by the ecosphere of third-party suppliers.
Integrating internal, external, and supply chain defence solutions into a single, cloud-native platform, this solution aims to measure and strengthen cyber defence posture cost-effectively, addressing the expanding mission of security operations teams.
“The BlueVoyant Cyber Defence Platform is a leap forward in the cybersecurity landscape," said James Rosenthal, CEO and Co-founder of BlueVoyant. "We understand the escalating demands that security operations teams face in detecting and responding to threats swiftly.”
The platform's launch comes at a critical time when organisations face increasing threats not only from internal networks but also from supply chain vendors, digital fraudsters, and the dark web.
By consolidating multiple point solutions, BlueVoyant's platform simplifies management and provides a comprehensive view of an organisation's cyber posture.
Supply chain gap
Recent studies have highlighted the urgent need for enhanced supply chain security measures.
SecurityScorecard's research revealed that while only 12% of UK companies reported direct breaches, an alarming 97% of the largest companies experienced breaches in their third-party ecosystem.
This underscores the interconnected nature of cybersecurity risks, where a company's security is only as strong as its weakest vendor link.
BlueVoyant's Cyber Defense Platform addresses these concerns by offering a range of products and services, including Detection & Response, Supply Chain Defense, Digital Risk Protection, Proactive Defense, and Cyber Posture Management.
These solutions leverage AI-powered, next-generation security operations to process data and alerts from internal networks, supply chains, and various web sources, resulting in improved scalability, productivity, and overall cyber risk posture.
The platform's Supply Chain Defense component is particularly crucial in light of recent findings.
A BlackBerry study revealed that 74% of software supply chains were exposed to cyberattacks in the last year, with 68% of businesses discovering hidden participants they weren't monitoring for security practices.
These attacks led to significant financial losses, data breaches, reputational damage, and operational disruptions for many organisations.
A solution to supply chains
By implementing BlueVoyant's comprehensive platform, companies can better manage and respond to risks from suppliers, vendors, and other third parties.
Equally, the platform's Proactive Defense and Cyber Posture Management features enable organisations to continuously assess and improve their security posture.
This form of exposure management is becoming increasingly popular in the industry, as recent developments have shown how hackers have got into systems through the use of contractors’ endpoints who were previously working on security elements for companies.
This proactive approach is proving essential in addressing the vulnerabilities, which indicate that supply chains add an additional layer of vulnerability to cybersecurity that companies must contend with.
BlueVoyant's Cyber Defense Platform represents a significant advancement in the cybersecurity landscape, offering a comprehensive solution to the complex challenges posed by evolving threats and vulnerable supply chains.
By integrating multiple defence solutions and leveraging AI-powered technologies, BlueVoyant’s platform equips organisations with the means to strengthen their cyber defences, manage supply chain risks, and maintain a robust security posture in an increasingly interconnected digital ecosystem.
