Blackwired proudly announces the launch of ThirdWatch, a groundbreaking solution designed to transform the way organizations combat cyber adversaries.
In a landscape where cybersecurity threats are continuously evolving and outpacing defenses, Blackwired’s co-founder and CEO, Jeremy Samide, proposes a transformative approach to combating cyber adversaries.
ThirdWatch is a subject-directed monitoring platform that provides a comprehensive 360-degree view in 3D of existential threats that impact organizations and the associated cyber risks posed by their vendors, partners, suppliers, networks, and digital assets. Utilizing a non-invasive, zero-touch technology process, ThirdWatch generates Direct Threat Intelligence while cross-referencing this intelligence with traditional vulnerability assessment data. This integration produces evidence-based scoring and specific solution sets to mitigate all direct cyber threats facing an organization.
This innovative platform establishes a new category—Direct Threat Risk Management. By incorporating all features of Attack Surface Management (ASM) and Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) tools, ThirdWatch surpasses conventional offerings, delivering enhanced usability, substantial value, and unique Direct Threat Intelligence.
Central to ThirdWatch are its pivotal features, including Direct Threat Intelligence, Direct Threat Mitigation, Third-Party Risk Management, Network Vulnerability Assessment, 3D Visualization, a comprehensive Ecosystem and Evidence-Based Scoring. The platform is designed with five key configurations: Enterprise, Audit, Managed Service Provider (MSP), Incident Response (IR), and Legal.
“Implementing a ‘defend forward’ mentality is crucial,” Jeremy asserts, urging organizations to break free from the outdated mindset from the 1980’s, which fails to adequately address modern threats. He advocates for a paradigm shift towards a proactive approach, encouraging organizations to seek out threats and neutralize them before they can escalate into attacks. ThirdWatch empowers organizations to identify and eliminate direct threats that jeopardize core operations, subsidiaries, and affiliates while mitigating risks posed by third parties in their ecosystems. It ensures compliance with regulatory third-party cybersecurity requirements and helps organizations navigate potential supply chain disruptions caused by cyber events.
Management teams can utilize the platform to monitor their cybersecurity operations' effectiveness, access cyber threat landscapes swiftly, and provide a digital witness record of pre-event direct threat intelligence.
The launch of ThirdWatch marks a significant evolution in cybersecurity strategy. Organizations can utilize the platform to enhance cyber resilience while safeguarding their digital assets against a rapidly changing threat landscape. As cyber risks escalate, ThirdWatch offers a proactive defense mechanism designed to help organizations stay one step ahead of malicious threat actors.
