Bitsight has introduced Dark Web Intelligence for Supply Chains, a new capability designed to help organizations proactively detect, prioritize, and respond to cyber threats across their extended vendor ecosystems before they disrupt business operations. As cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations are increasingly relying on real-time intelligence to strengthen resilience and protect critical supply chain relationships.
According to the World Economic Forum, 78% of CEOs consider supply chain and third-party dependencies as the biggest barrier to building resilience. However, many organizations still discover third-party breaches only after public disclosures. Consequently, risk teams often lose valuable time needed to assess exposure, coordinate response efforts, and minimize operational damage. To address this challenge, Bitsight now delivers real-time visibility into emerging threat activity, allowing organizations to identify which vendors and vulnerabilities attackers are actively targeting.
Furthermore, this solution enables businesses to move from reactive security models to proactive risk management strategies. By leveraging intelligence from the deep, dark, and open web, Bitsight maps threat activity directly to an organization’s vendor ecosystem. As a result, security teams can clearly understand which suppliers face active threats and which vulnerabilities pose the most immediate business risk.

“For most organizations, the difference between containing a third-party incident and reacting to it comes down to timing, context, and prioritization,” said Greg Keshian, Chief Product Officer at Bitsight. “Bitsight Dark Web Intelligence for Supply Chains uses AI to surface active threat and breach signals and map them directly to an organization’s supply chain, so teams know which vendors are being targeted, which weaknesses matter, and where to act — while attacks are still unfolding.”
In addition, the platform uses AI-driven analytics, including Bitsight’s Dynamic Vulnerability Exploitability (DVE) scoring, which predicts which vulnerabilities attackers are most likely to exploit based on real-world activity rather than theoretical severity. Therefore, organizations can prioritize remediation efforts based on actual threat likelihood, reducing noise and improving response speed.
Moreover, the solution helps organizations understand potential attack scenarios by mapping third-party exposures to attacker tactics using the MITRE ATT&CK framework. At the same time, it identifies early breach indicators across vendor networks through curated dark web intelligence feeds, often before vendors themselves publicly disclose incidents.

Another key advantage lies in its ability to bridge collaboration gaps between GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), TPRM (Third-Party Risk Management), and SOC (Security Operations Center) teams. Instead of working in silos, teams now share unified, threat-driven insights, enabling faster detection, coordinated response actions, and proactive security controls such as access restrictions and enhanced monitoring.
Ultimately, this unified intelligence model helps organizations reduce the blast radius of third-party compromises while providing executives and board members with clearer, data-backed insights into supply chain cyber risk exposure.
“Deep and dark web intelligence has changed how we manage third-party risk,” said Christoph Schacher, Chief Information Security Officer, Weinerberger. “It gives us clear and early visibility into threats emerging across our supply chain, sometimes even before vendors themselves are aware, allowing us to assess impact and respond with confidence instead of reacting after the fact.”
Overall, Bitsight’s latest innovation reflects the growing need for threat-led security strategies in today’s interconnected business environment. As supply chains become more digital and complex, organizations must adopt intelligence-driven approaches to stay ahead of attackers. By delivering earlier warnings, sharper prioritization, and actionable threat intelligence, Bitsight aims to help enterprises strengthen supply chain resilience and minimize the business impact of third-party cyber incidents.
