Black Kite introduced cloud asset mapping to
enhance vendor risk management and bring organizations a new dimension of
visibility. Now, customers can track and monitor their own cloud infrastructure
while also gaining unparalleled insights into their vendors' cloud
environments.
The rising
popularity of multi-cloud strategies - with public cloud adoption now
supporting nearly half of enterprise workloads - highlights the critical need
for visibility and risk management across both large enterprises and smaller
vendors. Effective risk management demands full visibility, not just within a
company's own systems but across the entire vendor ecosystem. Black Kite's
cloud asset mapping solves this challenge, offering deeper insights into vendor
infrastructure risks and enabling seamless cloud asset discovery across major
providers like AWS, GCP, and Azure. It delivers high-quality data on vendor
environments and assesses concentration risk, helping customers identify
frequently used cloud service providers and pinpoint potential single points of
failure to strengthen risk mitigation.
"In today's
cloud-dominated world, risks extend beyond your four walls, so it's important
that organizations have visibility into their complete vendor ecosystem," said
Chuck Schauber, chief product officer at Black Kite. "With Black Kite,
customers can map, monitor, and mitigate cloud risks across their entire supply
chain, ensuring no cloud-based vulnerability slips through the cracks so they
can stay ahead of cyber attacks and better protect their organizations."
