Conclusion

When companies vet their suppliers, they often use third-party services with limited visibility, such as a
simple perimeter scan of the supplier's network. Some companies delve deeper and rely on a CTI vendor
for a more comprehensive scan. However, they usually depend on vendors who can only access TOR
and the surface web, which gives their clients incomplete visibility and often results in missing essential
issues they are concerned about. As a result, they usually miss more significant events than they
discover.
