By demonstrating the impactful and actionable insights garnered through the 360 Cyber Risk Framework, the target customer could develop a meaningful, long term, company wide Vendor Risk Management program, thereby improving cyber resiliency enterprise wide, and across hundreds of its current and future suppliers.
This proof of value incorporates the Interos business risk platform, the newly automated WhiteHawk Cyber Risk Scorecards and the advanced CyberOne Vendor Risk Module.
The target customer will receive WhiteHawk Cyber Risk Scorecards for all vendors within the proof of value, as well as a Cyber Risk Portfolio Report which identifies key vulnerability trends across the group of companies. These reports will provide additional insights based on WhiteHawk Cyber Analysts performing cyber intelligence analytics on the raw data collected from the security rating providers.
Additionally, the customer will have access to an integrated Vendor Risk Management (VRM) Dashborad from partner CyberOne, which will serve as a central location to track supplier risk status and mitigation activities, including the implementation of cyber risk controls.
Terry Roberts, Executive Chair of WhiteHawk, commented, “As with any other major global enterprise, vendor risk is very real to the insurance industry. We know our automated, integrated and scalable approach can enable Insurance Groups to identify and mitigate cyber and business risks in near real time.”
Selected as a top 5 submission In U.S. Cyber Command - DIB outreach challenge
U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) recently released an Other Transaction Authority (OTA) request for proposal (RFP) through its accelerator counterpart, DreamPort, to identify innovative commercial solutions with automated cyber risk collection and analysis methods that do not require human intervention for measuring the cybersecurity posture of at least 20 DIB companies.
WhiteHawk’s proposal was selected and acknowledged as one of the top 5 submissions, earning the company an opportunity to a face-to-face demonstration with Department of Defense cyber procurement leads.
The winner of this Defense Industrial Base outreach challenge will receive US$25,000 in prize money, though the real value is the exposure to U.S. Cyber Command and Department of Defense high profile government departments and agencies. Through this opportunity, WhiteHawk, through OTA, will be more accessible to agencies that wish to fast track cyber risk mitigation service contracting and fast track the typical government RFP process.
This comes as the US Defense Department embarks upon an ambitious schedule for a serious overhaul of the way it monitors and enforces cybersecurity within its industrial base.
“This opportunity to demonstrate our integration and scaling of commercial cyber risk monitoring and mitigation across U.S. Department of Defense cyber organizations and professionals is something we have worked to achieve for over a year. We know the integrated SaaS offering we have is unique and impactful, because we still vet 2-3 new innovative vendor capabilities every week,” commented Roberts
