New integration combines global corporate transparency with continuous cyber risk intelligence to help organizations uncover hidden threats across their extended enterprise

BOSTON and WASHINGTON, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Black Kite, the leader in third-party cyber risk management, today announced a strategic partnership and integration with Sayari, a leading provider of global corporate transparency and supply chain risk intelligence. Together, the two companies are enabling organizations to gain a unified view of third-party risk by combining deep visibility into global corporate and trade networks with continuous cyber risk monitoring.

As organizations face increasing pressure to manage risk across complex, global supply chains, many struggle with fragmented data spread across multiple tools and teams. This partnership addresses that challenge by bringing together Sayari’s unmatched insight into corporate ownership, trade activity, and hidden commercial relationships with Black Kite’s objective, standards-based cyber risk ratings and real-time threat intelligence.

Through the integration, customers can enrich third-party risk assessments with both who an entity is connected to and how exposed they are from a cyber perspective—providing a more complete and actionable understanding of risk across the extended enterprise.

“Risk doesn’t exist in silos—but most tools still do,” said Bob Maley, Chief Security Officer at Black Kite. “By combining Sayari’s global network intelligence with Black Kite’s continuous cyber risk insights, we’re helping organizations move from fragmented signals to a connected, operational view of third-party risk.”

Sayari’s platform delivers visibility into complex commercial relationships using one of the world’s largest collections of corporate and trade data, spanning over 250 jurisdictions worldwide. By integrating this intelligence directly into Black Kite’s platform, customers can more easily identify hidden ownership structures, upstream supply chain dependencies, and potential exposure to financial crime or geopolitical risk—while simultaneously assessing cyber posture.

“Understanding risk today requires more than a single lens,” said Owen Denby, General Counsel at Sayari. “This partnership brings together two critical dimensions of risk—corporate network transparency and cyber exposure—so organizations can make faster, more confident decisions in an increasingly complex global environment.”

The combined solution supports a wide range of use cases, including:

Enhanced due diligence through enriched corporate ownership and cyber risk insightsSupply chain risk management with visibility into N-tier suppliers and their vulnerabilitiesFinancial crime and compliance by correlating beneficial ownership with cyber postureGovernment and national security applications requiring both transparency and cyber resilienceM&A and third-party onboarding with faster, more comprehensive risk assessments

By reducing manual research and connecting previously siloed data, the Black Kite and Sayari integration enables organizations to prioritize risk more effectively, accelerate investigations, and strengthen resilience across their third-party ecosystem.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping organizations navigate the growing complexity of global risk with greater clarity, speed, and confidence.

Bob and Owen did a webinar together in April: From Fragmented Signals to Connected Risk Intelligence, available to watch on-demand.

New endpoints let Security Operations teams build their own tools and embed autonomous investigations into existing pipelines.

AUSTIN, Texas, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Command Zero today released a broad set of API endpoints and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for its Autonomous & AI-Assisted SOC platform. Customers can now drive threat hunts, investigations, manage business context, and trigger remediation programmatically by connecting to Command Zero’s LLM-based agents.

“With aggressive growth in the availability of agentic SecOps capabilities, security leaders and architects are at an architectural juncture – facing a decision to either adopt agentic feature sets being added to existing security tools and platforms, or to instead invest in net-new autonomous SOC platforms – further increasing complexity to an already overwhelming SecOps tools environment. Command Zero is solving this architectural challenge, adding APIs and MCP server access to powerful autonomous investigation capabilities that can be woven into existing tools, workflows, and UI.”
— Dave Gruber, Principal Analyst, Cybersecurity, Omdia

SOCs consist of dozens of separate tools and need seamless connectivity between tools to overcome complexity. With API endpoints and MCP servers, customers can wire the Command Zero platform into their SOAR playbooks, orchestration pipelines, and internal tooling without waiting on vendor roadmaps. Technical alliance partners can build integrations in minutes.

“Opening Command Zero’s advanced investigation engine to developers changes what’s possible. Teams can now use advanced capabilities of the platform as the substrate for custom threat hunting frameworks, CTI-driven analysis, and bespoke tooling. The MCP server extends that to AI agents — which matters as agentic SecOps moves from pitch decks to day-to-day practice.”
— Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest

What’s in the release

Investigation APIs. List, start, extend, update, and retrieve investigations against any investigation template.Business context APIs. List, upload, and retrieve context at scale. Pull data in from ServiceNow, CTEM platforms, HR systems, and other sources — no manual console entry.Catalog and schema APIs. Query entity types, data sources, and investigation templates to align external systems with the platform’s data model.Remediation APIs. List remediation templates and execute remediation actions from external systems.MCP server. A wrapper around the APIs that lets Claude and other MCP-compatible agents query Command Zero directly. Analysts can run health checks, list investigations, triage open cases, and build custom dashboards from an AI chat interface.

What customers can build

SOAR playbooks that start a Command Zero investigation the moment an alert fires, then feed upstream response data back into the case as it develops.Custom threat hunting frameworks that ingest threat intelligence, generate hypotheses, deploy them as questions in Command Zero, and run autonomous hunts on a schedule.Internal SOC dashboards built in Claude that summarize weekly activity, automation rates, and open investigations in natural language.MSSPs syncing client business context across tenants automatically, instead of populating each environment by hand.

“The best security platforms are the ones teams can build on. This release puts Command Zero’s investigation engine in the hands of our customers and our technical alliance partners. They can wire us into their pipelines, extend us with their own flows, and connect us to the AI agents working collaboratively with their analysts. That is how a platform earns its place in the SOC. These APIs and MCP servers unlock a new class of joint solutions with our partners.”
— Dov Yoran, Co-founder and CEO, Command Zero

What’s next

The current release covers the core surface customers need to start building. More API endpoints will follow, shaped by anchor customers’ and partners’ feedback. Command Zero will also publish sample integrations and reference implementations in the weeks following the launch.
