Interos Enhances Industry-First Operational Resilience Score

Interos Enhances Industry-First Operational Resilience Score

On March 9, 2023, Interos, one of the leading operational resilience companies creating the world's strongest, safest, and most secure supply chains, announced the introduction of its upgraded cyber risk factor, a part of its i-ScoreTM measurement of operational resilience.

The Interos i-Score is the first of its kind resilience score that assesses the health of extended supply chains against multiple risk factors, such as restriction, financial, geopolitical, operations/catastrophe, ESG, and cyber.

The i-Score update includes an innovative cyber behavior model to detect potentially harmful cyber activity irrespective of public disclosure, commercial cyber ratings, threat assessment (Mitre ATT&CK®), vulnerability information (CVEs), regulatory compliance, cyber events, and operating country issues into a single score.

This advancement directs cyber risk and procurement managers to their multi-tiered vendors most exposed to ransomware, breaches, data leakage, and other cyber-attacks carried out by malicious attackers who target suppliers concealed in the extended global supply chain. Interos's 2022 Resilience study of 1,500 cybersecurity and procurement leaders found that cyber incidents cause supply chain disruptions that cost businesses $37M each year.

Andrea Little Limbago, SVP, Research & Analysis, Interos, said, "This is another crucial step forward in helping organizations achieve operational resilience." She further mentioned, "We've added new, proprietary models that integrate and assess data on cloud-based risk exposure, evaluate anomalous cyber behavior, measure regulatory compliance risks and more. It's designed to deliver better and faster information to CPOs partnering with CISOs — who are increasingly being held accountable for collective cyber resilience — to respond to more frequent and severe supply chain cyberattacks, with enhanced monitoring of vendors and third-party service providers."

Businesswire | May 22, 2023

Today, Skyflow, the data privacy vault company, unveiled Skyflow GPT Privacy Vault, a robust privacy solution that enables organizations to safely and securely leverage the full power of large language models such as GPT. Companies are rushing to adopt AI, whether to increase productivity, enhance decision-making powered by data-driven insights, or to improve customer experience. However, privacy concerns hinder organizations from fully embracing AI. The Skyflow GPT Privacy Vault can provide enterprises with unparalleled data protection throughout the entire lifecycle of GPT models, and offers a comprehensive range of features tailored to meet the evolving needs of enterprises: Data Privacy and Security: Skyflow GPT Privacy Vault establishes a secure environment for sensitive data, protecting it from unauthorized access, breaches, and data leaks. Granular Data Control: Organizations can maintain strict control over sensitive data, ensuring that only authorized individuals or entities can access specific data sets or functionalities within GPT systems. Privacy-Preserving AI: Sensitive data is redacted and anonymized during data collection, model training, and interactions, enabling organizations to maximize AI capabilities without compromising privacy. Compliance and Regulatory Requirements: With Skyflow GPT Privacy Vault, global companies can leverage AI while complying with data residency requirements, such as GDPR, LGPD, and others. Here’s how organizations can leverage Skyflow GPT Privacy Vault: Data Collection and Preparation: Redact or tokenize sensitive information as it flows through GPT without lessening the value of the output. Skyflow’s proprietary polymorphic encryption technique enables the model to seamlessly handle protected data as if it were plaintext. Model Training: Safely train GPT models on content where sensitive data is redacted and anonymized. Robust multi-party training is also available, so that two or more entities can share anonymized datasets and safely use AI to unlock substantial insights. Interaction with GPT Models: De-identify sensitive data during interactions with GPT models, ensuring that privacy is preserved throughout the entire user interaction process.
