Purpose-built in response to market and client demand, Supply Chain Explorer 
was developed in close collaboration with some of the largest corporations and 
critical government agencies. Supply Chain Explorer allows users to visualize, 
prioritize and escalate high risk relationships. A modular three-in-one 
solution, Supply Chain Explorer discovers supplier networks across digital 
footprints, global shipping data and contract awards data in a centralized 
application, delivering unparalleled transparency into supplier risk for 
government agencies and critical infrastructure sectors, including the Defense 
Industrial Base.

Exiger's customers have already battle-tested the software throughout some of 
the most volatile geopolitical, industrial and supply chain issues in history. 
Over the last six months, Exiger has been working with customers to ensure the 
relevance and accuracy of the product to their mission. The product has been 
used to detect, quantify and mitigate risk in under 24 hours across a number of 
different supply chain crises and cyberattacks. Supply Chain Explorer is 
currently used by corporations and federal government agencies to analyze 
Russia-Ukraine war supply disruptions, prioritize and understand Log4j impacts 
on their enterprise, and most recently, to assess their vulnerability to the 
Okta breach.

One beta customer of Exiger's Supply Chain Explorer noted, "My team was tasked 
with identifying high-impact vendors in a specific region. Exiger's commerce 
Supply Chain Explorer quickly gave us visibility not only [into] risk with 
direct suppliers, but [also] allowed us to work into the sub-tiers. Given the 
quick turnaround time of the request, Exiger's tool proved invaluable to 
providing a timely and thorough answer to our [stakeholders]."

In a recent global market study of over 300 risk management professionals, 
Exiger, in partnership with Stax Inc., found that 77% of large companies 
indicated the need to monitor risks of suppliers down to Tier 3 or deeper.

"The turbulence of the market has given us unique insight into the challenges 
our clients face in trying to understand their supplier networks in both their 
day-to-day work and in a crisis," said Brendan Galla ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3489715-1&h=1362898034&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.exiger.com%2Fprofessionals%2Fbrendan-j-galla%2F&a=Brendan+Galla 
), Exiger's Chief Product Officer.

Reflecting on the last two years of product development and supply chain 
analytics work, Brendan added, "For instance, ideating how you could use our 
cyber Supply Chain Explorer to identify the impact of a compromise in your 
software environment went from theoretical to mission-critical overnight as the 
Log4j news broke last year. The creation of this product was a unique 
opportunity to both understand our clients' needs and help them resolve 
real-world issues – this effort was an embodiment of Exiger's mission to make 
the world a safer place through technology."

Supply Chain Explorer draws on an aggregated blend of internal and external 
open data sets, including over 31 million direct unstructured and structured 
data sources, 1.3 billion contract records, 7 billion source records of supply 
chain installations, and 16.8 million unique supply chains. This solution also 
provides a comprehensive view into supply chain risk across 50 different 
categories and subcategories, including sanctions, trade embargoes,  
enforcement, state owned flags, cyber, modern slavery, and adverse media. The 
platform will ultimately include other macro risks, such as disruption for raw 
materials, natural disasters and more.

Data from Supply Chain Explorer is available in a streamlined, user-friendly 
interface, removing the noise and complexities that come with traditional 
manual due diligence and risk identification methods. The most sophisticated 
technology of its kind, Supply Chain Explorer leverages cutting-edge artificial 
intelligence and natural language processing backed by a hyper scaling database 
infrastructure.

"Exiger envisioned Supply Chain Explorer to simplify and democratize supplier 
and supply chain research," said Brandon Daniels ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3489715-1&h=4133941209&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.exiger.com%2Fprofessionals%2Fbrandon-daniels%2F&a=Brandon+Daniels 
), President of Exiger. "However, over the last two years, it became more than 
that.  It was an opportunity to help the U.S. and our allies identify the 
impact of sanctions on Russia.  It helped our clients rally against Uyghur 
Forced Labor.  It has helped Exiger support the COVID-19 effort to safely 
procure the supplies healthcare workers desperately needed to save lives." He 
continued, "The other issue we realized in working with our customers to 
develop this product is that risk management and procurement professionals are 
swamped in this environment. Supply Chain Explorer was designed to help our 
customers focus, prioritize and triage risk proactively. With single-click 
supply chain detection, high-level due diligence and risk analysis, everyone 
can now join the fight to secure our global supply chains. For the first time, 
customers can not only see their risk and solve the issues that have already 
happened, but spot potential disruptions before they impact their supply chain 
–– in a cost-effective and scalable way."

The launch of Supply Chain Explorer follows a period of accelerated growth and 
investment in Exiger's technology and people. The company continues to recruit 
nationally recognized risk management experts to its executive leadership team, 
most recently appointing Bob Kolasky ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3489715-1&h=1961980831&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prnewswire.com%2Fnews-releases%2Fexiger-taps-founding-head-of-cybersecurity-and-infrastructure-security-agencys-cisa-national-risk-management-center-bob-kolasky-for-svp-of-critical-infrastructure-301496768.html&a=Bob+Kolasky 
), Founding Head of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's National 
Risk Management Center, as Senior Vice President of Critical Infrastructure.

), former Principal Deputy for Counterintelligence, Law Enforcement, and
