Bitsight, a cyber risk intelligence leader, is seeing a surge in enterprise adoption of its integrated third-party risk and exposure management solutions as companies shift to AI-driven workflows. The platform, built on the world's most comprehensive cyber risk dataset, helps organizations reduce vendor onboarding times by up to 70% and lower the likelihood of breach from a third-party vulnerability by up to 75%. Vanessa Jankowski, SVP of Product at Bitsight, notes that point solutions fail to provide continuous, threat-informed visibility, prompting a shift towards integrated workflows. The platform's Trust Management Hub Vendor Network now has 68,000 organizations, and Framework Intelligence is helping reduce vendor assessment tasks by over 99%. Early customers report significant time savings, with tasks that once took up to 8 hours now completed within 90 seconds. Bitsight plans to release expanded capabilities, including deeper integrated VRM workflows and smarter, harder-working VRM agents.
