Next Steps: Secure Your Manufacturing Supply Chain
After reviewing the data in this report, you have a choice to make. You can rely on the illusion of security provided by high-level ratings, or you can confront the stark reality: a reactive, perimeter-focused approach is no longer enough to protect your business.
The truth is, the manufacturing industry's greatest vulnerability isn't its own network – it's the massive, interconnected supply chain that keeps your business running.
You need to see what the attackers see, and you need to see it first. This means getting unparalleled visibility into your third-party ecosystem and the tools to act before a single misconfiguration or unpatched vulnerability can bring your production to a halt.
This is where you take back control. Black Kite provides the intelligence and a real-time view of third-party risk so you can make informed decisions that protect your company, its reputation, and its bottom line. Our platform goes beyond simple ratings to give you a complete picture of your suppliers' security posture, including their ransomware susceptibility, so you can identify and address the greatest threats in your supply chain.
The path forward isn’t just about putting out fires. It’s about preventing them from ever starting.
