Cyb3r Operations

For Security Leadership

See your third-party risk. Understand what matters. Act before the board asks.

Continuous outside-in evidence on your suppliers, the SaaS estate, and the subprocessors behind both. No questionnaires, no waiting, no 40-page appendix.

Built for security and risk leaders at mid-to-large enterprises tired of tools that generate alerts without answers.

From the field

When MOVEit hit, we needed an answer in an hour, not a week. Cyb3r Operations is the platform that gives us that answer.

The problem

Survey-led TPRM cannot survive a real incident.

Most of the firm's cyber risk now lives outside the firm's perimeter, in suppliers, subprocessors, and the SaaS estate, but the CISO's tools were built for inside-out defence.

Survey-led TPRM gives a paper trail but not a defensible answer to "are we exposed?" when an incident lands in a tier-1 supplier at 11pm. When MOVEit, Snowflake, Okta, or CDK happens, "what's our blast radius?" takes 24 to 72 hours to answer. By then the board has already asked and the regulator has already enquired.

Today's reality

  • ·60 questionnaires a quarter producing no decisions
  • ·Vendor reviews that don't survive an incident
  • ·24 to 72 hours to answer "are we exposed?"
  • ·No current exposure picture in the board meeting

Why now

The incident cadence has changed. The tools haven't kept up.

Material incident disclosure

SEC, ESMA, FCA market-disclosure rules raised the bar to "we knew within hours," not days.

DORA, NIS2, PRA SS1/21, CPS 230

Supplier security obligations are binding, not best-practice. Evidence on demand is the baseline.

2024 to 2026 incident cadence

At least one named supply chain breach per quarter has touched FTSE 100 and S&P 500 firms.

Cyber insurance market

Underwriters now require continuous monitoring evidence. Annual reviews trigger premium increases.

AI-driven supply chain attacks

Faster cadence, more chained dependencies, manual review can't keep up.

What changes

What changes with Cyb3r Operations.

Continuous outside-in evidence.

See what the attacker sees, refreshed continuously, mapped to your supplier list. No questionnaires required.

Incident-ready exposure view.

When a named supplier is breached, you know in minutes who is affected and what the blast radius is.

Business-weighted prioritisation.

Vendors ranked by impact on regulated data, continuity-critical services, and your real architecture, not by abstract score.

From paperwork to decisions.

Discover, Assess, Respond, with the security team in the driving seat, not the queueing seat.

Defensible posture for material-incident disclosure.

When the SEC, FCA, or PRA asks, or the next named supply chain breach hits, speak to current third-party exposure with evidence, within the disclosure clock.

Plugs into the stack you already run.

Surface signals into Splunk, Sentinel, Jira, ServiceNow, Slack. Not yet-another-pane-of-glass.

Frequently asked

Questions CISOs ask in the first conversation.

Minutes. Outside-in evidence is continuous, so the exposure picture is already there when the news breaks. No "we'll get back to you in 48 hours."

Yes. Cyb3r Operations is built to feed the stack you already run. Signals route to the workflow you already use.

Ratings tools score every vendor in the universe. We surface what matters for your business based on your data flows, dependencies, and regulated workloads. See the full breakdown on the compare hub.

Lower than questionnaire-based assessments and continuously improving. We tune by signal type and business context, not by generic alerting.

Yes. Many CISOs deploy Cyb3r Operations as the continuous-evidence layer underneath their existing GRC/TPRM workflow rather than as a replacement.

We can run an outside-in scan against your top 50 in days. A pilot is typically 30 days end-to-end.
