SpyCloud, a specialist in account takeover prevention, recently launched their new Third Party Insight solution. Businesses can use this tool to evaluate risks presented by vendors, partners or acquisition targets based on several factors that stem from the threat of account takeovers.

Third Party Insight provides SpyCloud customers with a risk ranking for each third party they work with, plus specific data on executive credentials, potentially infected employees and the rate of password reuse across exposed data. Companies can share this data with partners for free and work with them to remediate exposures, reducing the risk of a breach due to account takeovers in their supply chain.

“Your employees are open doors to your network, your data and your intellectual property, but your third-party relationships extend that attack surface even further,” said David Endler, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of SpyCloud. “Our new Third Party Insight solution gives businesses a way to evaluate supply chain risks and work cooperatively with their vendors to mitigate them, in turn strengthening their overall security posture while building goodwill with key partners and suppliers.”

“In addition to helping assess how vendors and partners may increase your attack surface, Third Party Insight can also help you understand exposures you may inherit through mergers and acquisitions,” said Ted Ross, CEO and Co-founder of SpyCloud. “When news of an acquisition leaks to the press, the parties involved become ideal targets for criminals. We can now proactively improve the security posture of these parties ahead of these events.”
