Beazley Security Expands Exposure Management Suite with Third-Party Risk and Dark Web Monitoring

Published

on

New modules provide continuous visibility into supply chain risks and monitors for compromised credentials to help organizations preemptively avoid potential compromise

WEST HARTFORD, Conn., July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Beazley Security today announced the launch of two new modules within its Exposure Management platform: Third-Party Risk Monitoring (TPRM) and Dark Web Monitoring (DWM). Together, these capabilities extend visibility beyond an organization’s direct attack surface to two of the fastest-growing attack paths: vendor-related cyber risks as well as stolen credentials that are often visible in infostealer logs before they ever reach dark web marketplaces.

The expanded capabilities reinforce Beazley Security’s mission to help organizations move from reactive security practices to continuous, intelligence-driven exposure management. They will be demonstrated during Black Hat USA, August 4-6 in Las Vegas.

Expanding visibility across today’s most critical attack paths

Cyber risks increasingly originate outside traditional network boundaries. Two of the fastest-growing sources are weak links in trusted third-party vendors, and stolen credentials obtained through breaches, malware, or underground marketplaces.

“Threats are no longer confined to your own environment,” said Alton Kizziah, CEO of Beazley Security. “Vendor exposures and compromised credentials are now primary attack paths. By bringing these capabilities into our Exposure Management platform, we give our clients the visibility to prioritize what actually matters and take action before attackers do.”

Together, TPRM and DWM expand Beazley Security’s Exposure Management platform to address these risks, helping clients avoid costly breach response or ransomware remediation.

Third-Party Risk Monitoring: Continuous, context-driven supply chain risk intelligence

TPRM enables organizations to continuously assess and prioritize cyber risk across their vendor ecosystem using an outside-in approach based on observable exposure rather than static questionnaires. Instead of relying on periodic assessments, organizations gain continuous visibility into vendor risk and can focus on the third parties that present the greatest real-world exposure. Each vendor receives a 0–100 risk score that reflects not only their externally observable security posture, but also the context of their relationship with the client, including the level of access they have to systems and data, and their criticality to business operations. This contextualized score is accompanied by detailed findings and actionable risk reduction guidance, enabling security teams to prioritize remediation efforts based on the vendors that pose the greatest business risk.

Dark Web Monitoring: Early detection of compromised credentials

Dark Web Monitoring (DWM) extends Exposure Management into the deep and dark web, where stolen credentials are bought, sold, and weaponized. The product continuously monitors sources such as dark web forums, ransomware leak sites, infostealer logs, and underground marketplaces to identify exposed credentials linked to an organization’s domains. Because stolen credentials remain one of the most common initial access methods, early detection and remediation closes the window before attackers can turn access into a foothold.

Unified exposure management across internal and external risk

With the addition of TPRM and DWM, Beazley Security’s Exposure Management platform gives organizations a more complete, continuous view of their external risk landscape. This is further enhanced by Beazley Security Labs’ insight into how breaches actually happen, the initial access methods threat actors use, and the exposures most likely to lead to real incidents.

Specific features of each module include:

Third-Party Risk Monitoring

Dark Web Monitoring

Continuous vendor exposure visibility
Monitoring of internet-facing assets, services, software, and known exploited vulnerabilities across vendor environments
Dynamic, evidence-based risk scoring

Insights and guidance allow organizations to quickly reset credentials, enforce MFA, and investigate unauthorized access before attackers act

Both modules are:

California Supreme Court to Decide Whether Insurers Can Hide Illegal Overcharges Behind Approved Rates, Says Consumer Watchdog

Published

on

By

Ruling Will Impact Millions of State Consumers

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The California Supreme Court will decide whether consumers can sue insurance companies for overcharges that are illegal under Proposition 103, the insurance reform enacted by the voters 38 years ago.

The case before the court concerns a class action lawsuit brought by enlisted policyholders who are good drivers. They allege that USAA, a military insurer, charged them a higher price for auto insurance than it charged officers. Proposition 103 mandates a 20% Good Driver Discount for qualified drivers and state law requires an insurance company to offer good drivers the lowest rate available, regardless of military rank.

Proposition 103 authorizes consumers to challenge violations like that in court. However, some courts have ruled that those lawsuits cannot be brought if the insurance company can argue that the Insurance Commissioner approved the rates being charged.

About 200,000 enlisted USAA customers were overcharged. However, the Supreme Court’s decision will ultimately affect millions of Californians who buy insurance for their autos, homes and businesses.

Ninth Circuit Asks California Supreme Court to Address Pocketbook Issues

The case began in federal court in San Diego, the home of many people in military service. The United States District Court for the Southern District of California ruled that after the passage of Proposition 103, the California legislature passed a bill exempting companies that only insured military personnel from the application of Proposition 103’s protections for good drivers. The plaintiffs appealed to the Ninth Circuit, pointing out that under California’s Constitution the Legislature cannot undermine laws passed by the voters through a ballot initiative.

Before the 9th Circuit, USAA made a second argument, which had been rejected by the District Court: that other state insurance laws shield insurance companies from consumer lawsuits seeking refunds, notwithstanding Proposition 103. Plaintiffs noted that Proposition 103 specifically authorizes lawsuits under the state’s consumer protection laws.

Noting that California courts have adopted conflicting interpretations of Proposition 103, the Ninth Circuit of the United States Court of Appeal then asked California’s Supreme Court to decide these issues of state law.

Representing the enlisted military in the litigation are Consumer Watchdog, the California based non-profit that defends and enforces Proposition 103; Mehri & Skalet, a Washington, D.C.-based law firm specializing in class actions and complex litigation; Mason & Perry LLP, a class action and complex litigation firm also based in D.C., Matthew Seligman, of Grayhawk Law, [more], is leading the plaintiffs’ team before the Supreme Court.

The case is Coleman v. United Services Automobile Association, No. S298496. Review the complaint in the lawsuit. The Ninth Circuit’s certification to the California Supreme Court is available here. (Coleman v. United Services Automobile Ass’n, No. 25-793, slip op. at 3–15 (9th Cir. Sept. 10, 2026)).

Consumer Watchdog is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that advocates for taxpayer and consumer interests, with a particular focus on insurance, health care, privacy, energy, and corporate accountability. Consumer Watchdog represents consumers in proceedings enforcing Proposition 103’s protections.
