SpyCloud, a leader in identity threat protection, has unveiled its Supply Chain Threat Protection solution, a next-generation layer of defense designed to extend identity threat visibility across organizations’ entire vendor networks. Unlike traditional third-party risk management tools that rely on external indicators and static scoring, SpyCloud’s new solution delivers actionable intelligence derived from billions of recaptured breach, malware, phishing, and combolist data assets. This empowers enterprises and public sector agencies to act on credible identity threats rather than passively accepting risk.
Supply Chain Threat Protection addresses a critical gap in enterprise cybersecurity: the lack of real-time awareness of identity exposures affecting third-party partners and suppliers. According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, third-party involvement in breaches doubled year-over-year, rising from 15 to 30 percent due to software vulnerabilities and weak security practices. As supply chain compromises escalate, security teams need intelligence that goes beyond questionnaires and external scans to identify active threats, such as phishing campaigns targeting trusted partners, stolen credentials, and malware-infected devices exposing sensitive applications.

For government agencies and critical infrastructure operators, these threats carry national security implications. Contractors and technology vendors with compromised credentials can provide attackers with access to classified systems or essential infrastructure. In 2025, the top 98 Defense Industrial Base suppliers had over 11,000 dark web exposed credentials—an 81% increase from the previous year. SpyCloud Supply Chain Threat Protection allows federal, state, and local agencies to detect compromised suppliers early, enabling proactive remediation before exposures escalate into critical incidents.
“Third-party threats have evolved far beyond what traditional vendor assessment tools can detect,” said Damon Fleury, Chief Product Officer at SpyCloud. “Public and private sector organizations need to know when their vendors’ employees are actively compromised by malware or phishes, when authentication data is circulating on the dark web, and which partners pose the greatest real downstream threat to their business. Our new solution delivers those signals by transforming raw underground data into clear, prioritized actions that security teams use to protect their organization.”

The solution continuously monitors thousands of suppliers, presenting detailed findings in the Identity Threat Index, which aggregates multiple verified data sources weighted by recency, volume, credibility, and severity of compromise. Additionally, it identifies internal and third-party applications exposed on malware-infected supplier devices, supports risk-based vendor communications, and provides integrated response workflows through SpyCloud’s console—allowing analysts to act on threats from a single platform.
“Security teams and their counterparts across the business are overwhelmed with vendor assessments, questionnaires, and risk scores that often don’t translate to real prevention,” said Alex Greer, Group Product Manager at SpyCloud. “Our customers have often reported that when they’re evaluating doing business with a new vendor, they lack the actionable data their legal and compliance teams need for evidence-based decision making. That’s where SpyCloud stands out. Surfacing verified identity threats tied directly to vendor compromise, letting teams escalate to leadership when to restrict data access and prioritize efforts for the greatest impact on reducing organizational risk.”
By leveraging underground intelligence instead of static or surface-level indicators, SpyCloud Supply Chain Threat Protection enables organizations to move from passive risk acceptance to proactive, holistic identity threat protection—safeguarding both enterprise operations and critical national infrastructure.
