PRESS RELEASE

BLACK HAT 2023, LAS VEGAS – August 7, 2023 — SecurityScorecard today announced new partner-focused Managed Cyber Risk Services designed to help customers of all types and sizes operationalize third-party cyber risk management. With 98% of organizations having a relationship with at least one-third party that experienced a breach, SecurityScorecard combines its industry-leading platform and experts to solve the third-party cyber risk puzzle. 

“Many CISOs are challenged with manual third-party risk approaches that are inconsistent and focused on checkbox compliance. Customers consistently shared that they need a way to operationalize third- and fourth-party cyber risk management,” said Aleksandr Yampolskiy, CEO and Co-Founder, SecurityScorecard. “Today, SecurityScorecard is meeting that customer need. The next evolution of security ratings will focus on operationalizing cyber risk management and threat intelligence to directly impact our customers’ ability to deliver on their mission.”

Industry-first integrated security ratings platform + third-party managed cyber risk services approach

SecurityScorecard’s offering is unique in the market as the only solution of its kind to combine Managed Cyber Risk Services with a complete, battle-tested product suite of solutions.

With over 3,000 customers across the globe, SecurityScorecard Managed Cyber Risk Services was developed with customers and will be delivered by partners to achieve strategic business and security outcomes, including:

SecurityScorecard Managed Cyber Risk Services are directly connected to the SecurityScorecard Platform, allowing drill down into specific portfolios, companies, findings, and issues. Built on an API-first architecture, data can be directly ingested into their own security stack and reporting tools or integrate into their preferred MSSP or services provider to achieve improved security and business outcomes.

SecurityScorecard adds former Mandiant leader to the executive team

With the acquisition of LIFARS in 2022, SecurityScorecard gained a team of elite cybersecurity risk experts. Then in July 2023, the company appointed cybersecurity veteran and former Mandiant leader Jeff Laskowski as Senior Vice President and General Manager of Professional Services. 

“Over the past year, SecurityScorecard has delivered several innovative solutions to the market: The world’s first third-party focused attack surface management solution. Automatic vendor detection to identify unknown third- and fourth parties connected to their business. Risk quantification technology that helps risk management teams understand their financial exposure,” said Jeff Laskowski, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Professional Services, SecurityScorecard. “As we consolidate adjacent solutions into our platform, combined with expert services, we not only help our customers build economic efficiencies but also effectively mitigate third-party risk.”

Partner-focused approach closes third-party cyber risk gaps for customers

SecurityScorecard’s partner-focused managed services approach enables customers to leverage SecurityScorecard experts and a broad ecosystem of service delivery partners. This approach amplifies the benefits of the SecurityScorecard platform, gaining the economic benefits of scale and further enhancing customer relationships with service providers. 

In addition, partners that leverage the “Powered by SecurityScorecard” brand will deliver the fastest time to value to their customers and ensure they are providing the gold standard of service based on SecurityScorecard’s decade of experience in third-party cyber risk management.

“Operationalizing third-party cyber risk management requires a specialized and skilled workforce. Many organizations struggle with lack of visibility into their vendor landscape, questionnaires, threats, and financial impact of risks,” said Larry Slusser, Vice President, Global Head of Professional Services Delivery, SecurityScorecard. “By applying the principles of incident response to vendor risk management, customers can take charge with a turn-key, proactive, and comprehensive program designed to eliminate business disruption and drive cyber resilience.”
