Interos

Interos operates an AI-driven supply chain risk management platform that continuously maps and monitors an organization’s supplier network, reportedly tracking more than 400 million suppliers and 18 billion relationships, to surface cyber, operational, financial, and regulatory risk buried in fourth- and fifth-party relationships that most vendor risk programs never reach. For CISOs, the specific value is extending risk visibility past an organization’s direct vendors into the deeper supply chain where a compromised sub-supplier can still create a material breach or business disruption.

Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, Interos built early credibility with US federal and defense customers, including the Defense Logistics Agency and the US Navy, before expanding into commercial verticals like healthcare and financial services (Cooper University Health Care, TD Bank, Vantage Data Centers are among its cited clients). The federal customer base in particular is a meaningful independent signal given the scrutiny defense-related risk management vendors face during procurement.

Interos has raised $224 million total and reached a $1 billion valuation, with a $20 million round led by Blue Owl Capital and Structural Capital. The company sits at the intersection of GRC and cyber risk management, competing with both dedicated third-party cyber risk scoring vendors and broader supply chain risk platforms that weight ESG and geopolitical risk alongside cyber exposure; its differentiation is the depth and automation of its multi-tier supplier mapping rather than a narrower cyber-only risk score.
