Key Risk Indicators

Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) in the context of security and cybersecurity are specific metrics or data points that organizations use to assess and monitor potential risks and vulnerabilities to their information technology systems and data assets. KRIs help organizations proactively identify and respond to emerging threats and security breaches. They are typically quantifiable and measurable, providing insights into the organization's security posture. Cybersecurity KRIs include the frequency of security incidents, the volume of detected malware or phishing attempts, the number of unpatched vulnerabilities, and the percentage of failed login attempts. These indicators are crucial for early threat detection, risk management, and decision-making, allowing organizations to take corrective actions and improve their security measures promptly.

The ThreatNG all-in-one solution, combining External Attack Surface Management (EASM), Digital Risk Protection (DRP), and Security Ratings, serves as a vital tool for an organization in monitoring Key Risk Indicators (KRIs). This solution provides quantifiable metrics and data points that reflect potential vulnerabilities and threats by comprehensively evaluating the external digital presence, encompassing all technical, strategic, operational, and financial data beyond the firewall. When integrated with internal security solutions, this data offers a holistic view of an organization's security posture, enabling it to proactively identify, assess, and respond to emerging risks and vulnerabilities, ultimately facilitating informed decision-making, early threat detection, and more effective risk management.
