Third-Party Intelligence

Bitsight Third-Party Intelligence helps security teams monitor, investigate, and prioritize cyber threats affecting their suppliers. It combines live threat intelligence with Bitsight Security Ratings so teams can understand both what is happening to a supplier now and the security posture behind it.

Bitsight Third-Party Intelligence monitors ransomware, data breaches, hacktivism, and cyber news affecting your suppliers, helping teams quickly identify when a third party is being targeted or compromised.

Bitsight Security Ratings provide an objective, continuously updated view of each supplier’s cybersecurity posture. Combined with live threat intelligence, they help teams understand whether an event is isolated or tied to broader security weakness, compare supplier risk, and prioritize which vendors need attention first.

Teams can evaluate suppliers using Bitsight Security Ratings, threat severity, event volume, rating trends, and supplier importance. The dashboard also surfaces lowest-rated, top-triggered, and pinned suppliers so analysts can quickly focus on the third parties that matter most.

The dashboard provides a centralized view of monitored suppliers, including Bitsight Security Ratings, event volume, rating trends, sector, and adverse events. Summary widgets provide a fast snapshot of overall supplier posture and highlight suppliers that may require attention.

Yes. Analysts can move from a supplier-level signal into the underlying intelligence, including Bitsight AI-generated summaries, involved entities, linked intelligence, supporting sources, and recommended actions.

Yes. Bitsight Third-Party Risk alerts include the event context and attributed source. Analysts can follow source links to review the underlying intelligence and, where relevant, move into Bitsight Adversary Intelligence for additional actor context.

Suppliers are matched to Bitsight’s global entity database, helping connect supplier assets, organizational context, Bitsight Security Ratings, and relevant threat activity to the correct organization. This gives analysts greater confidence that an alert relates to the supplier itself, rather than an incidental mention.

Add the suppliers you want to monitor by searching for their domain and selecting the matching entity in Bitsight’s database. You can then configure attributes such as supplier importance and monitoring status. Once added, suppliers appear in Bitsight Third-Party Intelligence and can generate Third-Party Risk alerts.

Third-Party Risk alerts appear in the Bitsight Threat Intelligence Alerts experience and can be filtered alongside other alert types. From the supplier table, analysts can also open the Alerts page already filtered to a specific third party for further investigation.

Yes. Teams can change the timeframe to review supplier activity and Security Rating trends across the past week, month, or year, helping them understand how risk changes over time.

Traditional TPRM processes often focus on assessments, questionnaires, and compliance. Bitsight Third-Party Intelligence adds a security operations view by connecting active supplier threat activity with continuously observed security posture, helping teams understand what is happening now and respond faster.

Bitsight Third-Party Intelligence is designed primarily for CTI and security teams that need to monitor and investigate threats beyond their own perimeter. Findings can also be shared with TPRM, procurement, legal, and other stakeholders responsible for supplier risk and response.
