Cyber risk

Compare and quantify the environment for cyber attacks as part of regular security risk evaluations

Our country-risk-centered approach to cyber risk aims to address the country context and high-level picture of cyber risk, to be assessed in the context of other security risks. Entities can be targeted directly or suffer indirect disruption from attacks on a country’s Critical National Infrastructure (CNI).

Impacts include damage, disruption and theft.
Global comparisons for 211 countries – both quantitative and qualitative. Based on: 1) the extent to which commercial operations and infrastructure in each country is a likely target for cyberattacks; 2) state capability to prevent & respond effectively to cyberattacks; 3) how dependent a state’s CNI is on systems that are vulnerable to cyberattack; 4) how aware the population is of cyberattack risks and the practice of good ‘digital hygiene.
Help to foresee potential impacts and allocate resources and budget.
Threat actor profiles identify common target sets. Includes national-state-aligned cyber actors, cybercriminals and hacktivists. Covers their organization, intent, capability and target sets.
Valuable compliment to other potential internal and external information sources.
