Cyber Risk

Cyber risk connected to threats, vulnerabilities and controls

A cyber risk carries the threat actors and vulnerabilities behind it, the assets exposed and the controls that reduce it. Security events arrive from your tooling, and automation rules decide when one should raise a risk, rescore it or open remediation with an SLA.

  • Threats classified by actor type, sophistication, intent and source confidence
  • Vulnerabilities with severity, discovery source, remediation status and SLA bucket
  • Security event ingestion with scoped tokens, import jobs and automation rules
  • Control effectiveness scored across three dimensions, not one

Control effectiveness is scored separately for design, operation, and implementation, so a well-designed control that is not operating does not quietly reduce the score.

Threat and vulnerability

The reasoning behind the score is on the record

Risks link to the threats and vulnerabilities that justify them, and vulnerabilities link to the specific asset instances affected, so exposure analysis is a query over the register rather than a spreadsheet exercise.

  • Threat actor type, sophistication level, intent and source confidence
  • Vulnerability severity, discovery source, remediation status, SLA bucket
  • Vulnerability-to-asset-instance links for exposure analysis
  • Typed risk-to-threat and risk-to-vulnerability relationships

Automation

Events in, risk signals out

Security events arrive through scoped ingestion tokens and import jobs. Automation and trigger rules turn qualifying events into risk activity, with every execution logged and remediation SLAs applied to cyber treatment actions.

  • Scoped ingestion tokens per source, with import job status
  • Automation rules and risk trigger rules with recorded executions
  • Cyber taxonomy packs and tenant scoring schemes
  • Overdue SLA queue and mitigation coverage views

Framework alignment

Works with your control frameworks

This module shares the platform control library. International standards, sector regulations and your own internal standard are loaded the same way and mapped to one another, wherever you operate.
