How is Cyber Risk Quantification Different from Cyber Security Ratings?
Scores from first Generation Security Ratings providers are reactive in nature and typically only trigger change after a breach has been publicly announced. This is too little, too late for risk professionals trying to make informed decisions upfront based upon the cyber risks they face across their supply chain.
Research suggests approximately 60 percent of data breaches are directly linked to third party vulnerabilities found within your supply chain. A cyber breach can cost an organization untold damage – financial, reputational, and professional. That is why companies should do more to anticipate and prepare for a cyber attack by using predictive, cyber risk quantification metrics. The ISS Cyber Risk Score provides forward looking insight into the cyber threat postures of all organizations globally and allows subscribers to incorporate those metrics into risk management programs.
