Frequently Asked Questions.
What is iCOUNTER’s Counter Threat Operating System?
Bitsight supports security ratings and third-party risk management through continuous monitoring, threat intelligence, and vendor remediation workflows. iCOUNTER complements that program with its own intelligence collection and managed Counter Threat Operations. CTOS determines how active threats relate to your business dependencies, engages affected third parties, and tracks remediation to completion with evidence.
How does iCOUNTER complement Bitsight?
Bitsight supports security ratings and third-party risk management through continuous monitoring, threat intelligence, and vendor remediation workflows. iCOUNTER complements that program with its own intelligence collection and managed Counter Threat Operations. CTOS determines how active threats relate to your business dependencies, engages affected third parties, and tracks remediation to completion with evidence.
How does iCOUNTER complement SecurityScorecard?
SecurityScorecard combines security ratings with threat intelligence and offers managed supply chain detection and response through MAX. iCOUNTER complements that investment with its own intelligence collection and ecosystem-specific risk determination. CTOS connects compromise signals to the data, access, and critical operations each third party supports, then coordinates remediation and tracks the fix. The complementary fit depends on the SecurityScorecard services already in use.
Do we need to replace our existing security or third-party risk tools?
No. iCOUNTER is designed to complement your existing stack, including security ratings, third-party risk management, governance, threat intelligence, and security operations tools. CTOS adds a managed operation for validating ecosystem threats and coordinating remediation.
How does iCOUNTER determine which threats matter to our business?
CTOS correlates intelligence against a digital twin of your ecosystem, a model of your third parties and their relationships to your business. That context helps determine whether activity creates operational risk and which response is appropriate before the finding enters your team’s workflow.
What happens after iCOUNTER validates a threat?
iCOUNTER provides prescriptive remediation, coordinates with the affected third party, and tracks the fix to completion. This managed process connects the validated threat to action and gives your team visibility into the remediation progress.
Will our team need to manage another stream of alerts?
iCOUNTER manages the initial filtering, validation, and triage for you. When a threat requires your team’s attention, you receive a validated risk event with business context and recommended action. iCOUNTER handles engagement with affected third parties and tracks remediation, reducing the alerts your team must investigate and the follow-up it must coordinate.
What do we need to get started?
Start by sharing a CSV of your priority third parties and ecosystem partners. iCOUNTER uses that list to begin the engagement, with risk determination tailored to your organization’s risk framework and third-party priorities.
