The leader in third-party cyber risk intelligence, Black Kite has announced it was awarded two 2022 CISO Choice Awards by CISOs Connect™ for its technology platform and business practices. Black Kite won the Partner in Success and Third-Party Risk Management categories, which were selected by a panel of 12 leading CISOs.

“The likelihood of ransomware attacks impacting businesses due to a third-party breach has nearly doubled from only 15 per cent in 2020 to 27 per cent in 2022. As a result, it’s more crucial than ever that leaders examine their risk factors throughout the entire supply chain,” said CEO of Black Kite, Paul Paget. “Our recognition in the CISO Choice Awards reinforces that third-party cyber risk management is top of mind for leading businesses amid record disruption. We’re honored to receive these awards from such distinguished CISOs as they confirm Black Kite is providing best-of-class service to our customers and partners.”

Black Kite is the only fully transparent, standards-based third-party cyber risk platform built from a hacker’s perspective that analyzes a supply chain’s cybersecurity posture from three critical dimensions: technical, financial and compliance. The continuously updated global database of high-quality risk intelligence eliminates false positives and provides businesses a holistic approach to monitoring thousands of suppliers’ cybersecurity health in real time.

As CISO Choice Awards esteemed Judge Sue Lapierre, VP, IT Governance, Information Security Officer of Prologis, said in a CISOs Connect press release, “This year was extremely gratifying as we saw innovative approaches across threat types to safeguard our organizations. The CISO Choice Awards are a valuable recognition, and all of us who belong to the exclusive CISOs Connect Community want to recognize and congratulate this year’s winners.”
