Integration delivers Black Kite’s real-time cyber risk intelligence natively inside the Falcon platform, enabling security teams to detect risk, automate response at machine speed

BOSTON, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Black Kite, the leader in third-party cyber risk management, today announced a new integration with CrowdStrike to deliver real-time third-party vendor risk intelligence directly into CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen SIEM. This new integration unifies first- and third-party data, native threat intelligence, AI, and workflow automation to drive SOC transformation and give security operations teams the visibility, speed, and control needed to stop third-party breaches before they happen.

Security Operations Centers today face a critical blind spot: the risk that third-party vendors and suppliers pose to their organizations. Despite managing tens of thousands of inbound signals daily, SOC teams lack the visibility to detect third-party ransomware risk in real time, and lack the tooling to act on third-party incidents and vulnerabilities within their existing workflows. The result is delayed incident response, manual remediation processes, and supply chain exposure that goes unaddressed until it is too late.

Falcon Next-Gen SIEM delivers more capabilities and up to 150x faster search performance than legacy SIEMs and solutions positioned as SIEM alternatives, at an 80% lower total cost of ownership over three years. By integrating Black Kite’s third-party cyber risk intelligence natively into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, joint customers can now close that gap — correlating external vendor risk signals with internal telemetry in the same platform their SOC already runs on.

Find and investigate evasive threats with AI-powered detections and rich contextual insights from Black Kite — including real-time Ransomware Susceptibility Index® (RSI™) scores, FocusTags®, and aggregated vendor cyber ratings across technical, financial, and compliance dimensions;Accelerate deployment and response with streamlined Black Kite data onboarding, SOAR playbook automation for third-party vulnerability investigation, and vendor outreach via The Bridge™ — reducing third-party incident response times by 5x;Unify SOC data and workflows to deliver superior security outcomes at lower total cost — combining third-party risk monitoring, vulnerability management, and remediation reporting in a single pane of glass inside Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.

The integration provides Security Operations teams with a fully automated Third-Party Vulnerability Management process: Black Kite escalates third-party vulnerabilities based on criticality, confidence, and EPSS scoring into Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, where Charlotte Agentic SOAR playbooks enrich and investigate each finding. Remediation requests are shared directly with vendors via The Bridge™, with ticket status and operational metrics – including vendor registration rates, FocusTag® resolution time, and average days to close critical findings – fed back into the SIEM dashboard for continuous reporting and ROI measurement.

Joint customers benefit from a single, centralized view of aggregate third-party risk across cyber posture, ransomware susceptibility (RSI™), data breach indicators (DBI), and FAIR-based financial risk — enabling security leaders to demonstrate the measurable impact of their third-party risk program to stakeholders.

“Third-party breaches account for a significant share of the incidents our customers respond to, yet most SOC workflows have no mechanism to surface that risk until it’s an active incident. This integration puts Black Kite’s open standards-based cyber risk intelligence — RSI™ scores, FocusTags®, aggregated vendor ratings — directly into the CrowdStrike environment where analysts are already working. The result is a security operations team that can investigate, prioritize, and remediate third-party exposure the same way they handle any other threat: fast, automated, and at scale.” — Chuck Schauber, Chief Product Officer, Black Kite

The Black Kite integration is available today in the CrowdStrike Marketplace, a one-stop destination for the world-class ecosystem of third-party security products. To learn more about the Black Kite and CrowdStrike partnership, visit here.

MoU establishes framework to explore advanced solution development, including joint R&D and product definition.New platforms to be deployed in mobility and cross industry applicationsBuilding on established longstanding collaboration between ECARX and Arm

LONDON, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ECARX Limited (“ECARX”), a leading global automotive intelligence business, and Arm today announced that they have signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly explore and develop next‑generation high performance AI computing platforms for mobility, and broader cross‑industry applications.

Under the MoU, ECARX and Arm will advance high‑level joint co‑engineering activities spanning system‑level architecture definition, performance optimisation, software enablement, functional safety, toolchain and cybersecurity validation, as well as ecosystem build‑out. The partners will also explore tailored configurations optimised for deployment across China and global markets, addressing use‑cases within mobility alongside broader cross‑industry physical‑AI applications.

The combined effort will unlock meaningful advances in performance, power efficiency, and scalable deployment for global customers. Building on their long‑standing collaborative relationship, Arm will support ECARX to bring‑to‑market highly‑optimised compute solutions purpose‑built to handle demanding physical AI workloads as a leading partner in mobility and diverse cross‑industry use cases.

The partnership builds on a history of collaboration, including through SiEngine, a leading automotive semiconductor company that has delivered advanced 7nm SE1000 platform automotive‑grade SoCs to global OEMs, with millions of units produced and deployed since mass production began in March 2023. Development of the next generation 5nm SE2000 SoC platform is also underway.

Ziyu Shen, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, ECARX said: “Our long‑standing partnership with Arm draws on our track‑record of successful joint delivery via SiEngine for global automotive customers. Against the industry shift toward AI‑defined vehicles, this new collaboration accelerates our work to bring forward globally ready high performance physical‑AI computing platforms. Bringing together Arm’s industry‑leading compute architectures and ECARX’s full‑stack automotive capabilities, we will build scalable high performance compute for next generation intelligent vehicles, and also explore opportunities for cross‑industry deployment. Our teams will now advance joint technical roadmap definition and co‑engineering to translate this shared vision into practical solutions for global markets.”

Drew Henry, Executive Vice President, Physical AI, Arm, said: “Physical AI is one of the most complex systems engineering challenges our industry has taken on, requiring compute, software and safety to work together from the ground up. By combining Arm’s compute platform with ECARX’s proven automotive expertise, we see an opportunity to explore new approaches to high-performance, efficient computing across AI-defined vehicles and other autonomous systems.”
