Cyber Risk Assessment

C

Cyber Risk Assessment systematically evaluates and analyzes an organization's digital environment, including its information systems, networks, and data assets, to identify and quantify potential cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities. This process involves assessing the likelihood of various cyber threats and the potential impact of these threats on the organization's operations, assets, and reputation. Cyber Risk Assessment typically considers the organization's security policies, technology infrastructure, security controls, and employee practices. The goal is to understand the organization's exposure to cyber risks and to prioritize mitigation strategies to protect against these risks. This assessment often leads to developing a cybersecurity risk management strategy, which includes risk mitigation, transfer, or acceptance measures to improve the organization's overall cybersecurity posture.

An integrated solution such as ThreatNG, encompassing External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings, assists organizations in conducting comprehensive Cyber Risk Assessments. Identifying and monitoring the organization's external attack surface provides valuable insights into potential vulnerabilities, emerging threats, and security posture. This information aids in a more accurate and proactive evaluation of cyber risks. It enables organizations to prioritize and implement robust risk mitigation strategies and optimize their overall cybersecurity defenses in alignment with evolving threats and vulnerabilities.
