Crossword Cybersecurity PLC (AIM:CCS) has partnered with cyber risk auditor Dark Beam Ltd to expand its offering to customers using its Rizikon Assurance platform.
The company, in a statement, said Darkbeam’s audits will give customers a real-time risk rating as part of an overall third-party assurance assessment on the platform, to help companies minimise the threat of their digital ecosystem being exploited via their supply chain and supplier relationships.
"We are very pleased to partner with Darkbeam and help Rizikon customers further understand and manage the cyber risks that may exist in their supply chains,” said Sean Arrowsmith, Crossword’s group sales director.
“All too often these risks are unknown and only exposed when a cyber event occurs.
“By integrating their cyber risk rating into Rizikon, our users will have access to a more comprehensive overview of their overall cyber risk, in real time, while assessing their supply chain risk at scale, in a cost-effective way. "
Charles Clark, Darkbeam chief executive, added: "Darkbeam is pleased to partner with Crossword and to offer our cyber security risk audit to Rizikon users. Darkbeam works with clients to augment their approach to cyber security risk, and with the increase in the attack surface, the threat has never been greater. "
