SkyLive Vendors are organisations that enable real-time visibility for their clients through Sky BlackBox’s CoreSphere-IQ system. By securely sharing daily risk data (without exposing sensitive information or your internal risk), these vendors eliminate the guesswork for clients and build immediate trust.

Once connected and after approving the client request, vendors enable SBB-Client users to see live, daily updates on their security posture, automatically calculated using each client’s internal risk matrix, data classification, and business asset criticality.

How It Works

Sky BlackBox provides a secure Docker Container as a data collector. Vendors can choose to:

· Host it on-prem within their DMZ or application zones (fully scan-ready)

· Connect via VPN to a hosted collector in Sky BlackBox’s cloud

The container reads daily internal scan reports from zones that impact customer data (e.g. DMZ, application zone, or database zone), automatically removes sensitive details, and intelligently translates the data into client-specific risk views using each client’s internal security policies, data classification, asset criticality, and risk matrix. Powered by Sky BlackBox’s patented intelligent algorithm, the entire process runs automatically with no manual effort required from the vendor once connected.

Vendors can see how their security is viewed by each client in real time, and proactively improve before issues arise.
