Frequently Asked Questions.
How does iCOUNTER complement Bitsight?
Bitsight supports security ratings, continuous monitoring, threat intelligence, and vendor risk workflows. iCOUNTER adds owned intelligence collection and managed Counter Threat Operations. CTOS determines which live threats represent operational risk to your ecosystem, engages affected third parties, and tracks remediation to completion with evidence.
Do we need to replace Bitsight to use iCOUNTER?
No. iCOUNTER implements the Bitsight capabilities your organization already uses. Your team can retain its existing program while adding managed ecosystem threat detection, risk determination, and third-party remediation.
What does iCOUNTER add if we already use Bitsight’s threat intelligence or remediation capabilities?
The fit depends on your existing services and who manages the work today. iCOUNTER combines its own intelligence collection with ecosystem-specific risk determination and managed third-party remediation. An evaluation should establish where this adds collection coverage, reduces internal triage, or provides additional support for taking a validated threat through to resolution.
What is the Counter Threat Operating System (CTOS)?
The Counter Threat Operating System (CTOS) is iCOUNTER’s managed platform for identifying, triaging, and enabling response to active threats across your third parties and extended ecosystem. It connects intelligence collection with customer-specific risk determination, recommended remediation, and managed follow-through.
How does CTOS determine whether a third-party threat affects our business?
CTOS evaluates threat evidence against a digital twin of your ecosystem. That model provides context on third-party relationships and business dependencies. Combined with your risk framework and priorities, it helps determine whether a threat is relevant, its potential operational impact, and who needs to act.
What kinds of threat activity does iCOUNTER identify?
iCOUNTER collects and analyzes evidence such as compromised credentials, network or administrative access offered for sale, ransomware-related data exposure, and adversary targeting. CTOS validates those signals against your ecosystem context to determine which represent relevant operational risk.
Can a third party with a strong security rating still require urgent attention?
Yes. A strong security rating does not guarantee that an organization is free from compromise or active targeting. Examining current threat evidence alongside security posture and business dependencies helps your team determine when a specific development warrants action.
Will our team need to manage another stream of alerts?
iCOUNTER manages initial filtering, validation, and third-party triage. When your team’s attention is required, you receive a validated risk event with business context and recommended remediation. iCOUNTER also handles affected third-party outreach and tracks the fix, reducing the investigation and coordination your team must manage.
What happens after iCOUNTER validates a threat?
iCOUNTER engages the affected third party, provides prescriptive remediation, and tracks progress through resolution with supporting evidence. Your team gains visibility into the threat, the action required, and the status of remediation.
Does using iCOUNTER alongside Bitsight require a direct integration?
A direct integration with Bitsight is not required to begin an iCOUNTER engagement. Any data exchange or workflow integration can be scoped separately around your environment and the products you use.
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.
