Key insights from the report include: - Ransomware dominance – Third-party vendors remained a primary entry point for disruptive attacks. - Silent breaches – Many cyber incidents went unnoticed until their cascading effects disrupted entire industries. - Regulatory impact – Frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and DORA influenced cybersecurity improvements, but challenges remain.

About us
One in four organizations suffered from a cyber attack in the last year, resulting in production, reputation and financial losses. The real problem is adversaries attack companies via third parties, island-hopping their way into target organizations. At Black Kite, we're redefining vendor risk management with the world’s first global third-party cyber risk monitoring platform, built from a hacker's perspective. With 500+ customers across the globe and counting, we're committed to improving the health and safety of the entire planet's cyber ecosystem with the industry’s most accurate and comprehensive cyber intelligence. While other security ratings service (SRS) providers try to narrow the scope, Black Kite provides the only standards-based cyber risk assessments that analyze your supply chain's cybersecurity posture from three critical dimensions: technical, financial, and compliance.
