Homing the Cyber Risk Analysis Lens: Exploring Macro to Micro Trends

‍The process of achieving goals, whether long-term, short-term, personal, or professional, starts with harnessing the available relevant data. In fact, the more information gleaned beforehand, the more likely the mission will be a success. However, the details required for devising an effective plan exist at various granular levels, some overarching, focusing on the broader elements, and others more minute.

New Drill Down Feature Illuminates a Deeper View of Cyber Risk Drivers

‍The power of an on-demand cyber risk quantification (CRQ) platform lies in its ability to harness an extensive amount of data, filter it, and consequently produce an objective assessment that offers key stakeholders an understanding of how likely their organization is to experience certain cyber events, along with the respective financial losses.

Material Incident Reporting Obstacles in SEC Cybersecurity Disclosures

‍ Over the past few decades, cyber attackers have increasingly wreaked havoc on the market, taking advantage of newer, more sophisticated ways to exploit system vulnerabilities. However, in fear of losing competitive advantages, organizations had notoriously downplayed the impact of these attacks, misleading investors and resulting in stock prices that did not accurately represent the risk landscape. ‍

What Cybersecurity Metrics Should I Report to My Board?

‍ ‍ Chief information security officers (CISO) or respective organizational cybersecurity leaders are most likely well aware of the cybersecurity risks their organizations face. However, being aware of and communicating important cyber risk management data to the board of directors are two entirely different matters.

Quantifying NIST CSF Maturity Levels for Data-Driven Cyber Programs

Cybersecurity maturity assessments play a fundamental role in helping chief information security officers (CISOs) determine the level of risk their organizations face due to cyber activity. By illuminating the various areas that are exposed to exploitation, these evaluations serve as a blueprint for cybersecurity leaders tasked with making the business secure amid an increasingly risky operational landscape.

Expanding Cyber Risk Management Accountability in the EU With NIS 2

‍ ‍No organization, no matter the industry, is exempt from suffering from a cyber attack. The European Union formally recognized this modern-day reality in late 2022 when it published Directive (EU) 2016/1148, more commonly known as the NIS 2 Directive. As an updated version of the original directive enacted in 2016, this newer, sweeping cybersecurity regulation expanded its original scope to encompass even more business sectors.

Cyber's "Shift Up" Moment

‍ Today, cybersecurity is evolving into cyber risk management. The last few decades of immense technological and digital transformations have meant that, to a large extent, a business’s ability to be resilient is dependent on a reliable, free flow of data and on technology functioning without interruption. This shift has profound implications for the global economy’s ability to remain stable. ‍

How Private Equity Firms Can Streamline Portfolio Optimization With CRQ

Private equity (PE) firms have a unique power in the global marketplace, independently fostering innovation, creating jobs, and propelling economic growth. These entities infuse capital into a spectrum of industries throughout the business life-cycle, intent on delivering superior returns to investors while effectively navigating the complexities of the broader threat landscape.

Transforming Cybersecurity Risk Assessments Into Actionable Plans With CRQ

‍Market success has often demanded that business leaders take risks. Some of the most profitable executives are those who have pursued bold initiatives, recognizing, despite the dangers, the potential rewards. However, as organizations grow and become more complex, the costs of these risks rise, demanding a more data-driven approach to its management.
