Defend Security Spending, Prioritize Cyber-Risk and Show ROI based on Business Risk Reduction
ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier (RQ) automates the generation of financial cyber risk reporting as it relates to your business, cybersecurity initiatives, and controls. RQ leverages user inputs and multiple data sources such as regulatory data, insurance claims, financial data, breach reports and a wealth of security and threat intelligence. When the data is applied to the risk model, RQ automates three main outputs:
- Top cyber risk scenarios as defined by financial impact
- Communication of cyber risks and financial impact that resonates with the rest of the business
- Recommended actions for improvement prioritized by ROI

ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier Provides Relevancy and Context to Prioritize What to Focus on First
ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier 5.0 provides an industry first by prioritizing CVE’s by their financial impact if an exploit or attack is successful. It enables security teams to focus on financial risk rather than severity scores that may or may not be relevant. This is especially true when security teams are inundated with alerts all professing high severity scores.
As any security analyst knows, a 10 does not necessarily mean a 10 across all businesses. That is why RQ 5.0 prioritization of CVEs is so important for security teams right now. Security teams can focus on the vulnerabilities that matter the most to the business. The result? Clear demonstration of how your security team is driving down risk for the organization.
“Out of 300 IT professionals surveyed by the Ponemon Institute, 72% said they had difficulty in prioritizing what needs to be patched. Sixty percent of those surveyed indicated that breaches at their organization were linked to a vulnerability where a patch was available, but not applied.” – Ponemon Institute | Costs and Consequences of Gaps in Vulnerability Response, May 2020

Automate Risk and Financial Models to Calculate
Security Control Improvements and Reduce Financial Impact
Quickly model what changes in your security posture can create the best possible impact on financial risk and ROI. ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier shows the business what happens to financial risk when the budget is decreased. Show budgetary impacts without changing your baseline security data. What if Analysis allows you to answer the tough questions using real-world analysis to show the cyber risks associated with:
- The addition of new entities (either through merger and acquisition or other activity) would do to the business
- Increased financial risk associated with rolling out applications without adequate protections
- Financial risk that granting a security waiver (or exception) to an application does to the business
Strengthen your organization’s defense
Leverage industry accepted frameworks like NIST CSF or CIS Top 20 to map your security control maturity against industry-recognized approaches to risk quantification. The output is a realistic portrait of gaps in your security controls and what that risk means to the organization. With ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier (RQ), security teams get a prioritized list of recommendations based on the framework of their choice and the business gets a solid view of the investments that need to be made to drive down cyber risk financially.
