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.
