Modern cyber threats such as data breaches and attacks can have significant productivity and financial effects on the business, ranging from unexpected system downtime and business interruption to system damage and data loss.
This report (re)uses the same data set behind the Internet Risk Surface Report. It is derived from RiskRecon’s work in providing companies objective visibility into their third-party cybersecurity risk. For each organization analyzed, RiskRecon trains machine learning algorithms to discover internet facing systems, domains, and networks. For every asset discovered, RiskRecon analyzes the publicly accessible content, code, and configurations to assess system security and the inherent risk value of the system based on attributes such as observable data types collected and transaction capabilities. RiskRecon provided Cyentia a large anonymized sample of their production data set for this research.
In Forrester’s evaluation of the emerging market for cybersecurity risk rating solutions, we identified the nine most significant providers in the category — Bitsight, Fico, iTrust, Normshield, Panorays, Prevalent, Riskrecon, SecurityScorecard, and upGuard — and evaluated them.

As organizations grow, the number of vendors on which they rely increases to form a complex ecosystem. Many cyber attacks, however, are launched through third-party vendors.
Building new digital relationships with third-parties increases exposure to a cybersecurity breach.
