The Cyber Risk Forecast

Decision support for cyber risk leadership

Helping CISOs Answer The Top Questions Executives Are Asking

What is our biggest risk (right now)?
Each forecast identifies and ranks the most likely, highest‑impact cyber risks facing your organization right now — based on the last 30 to 90 days, not outdated annual reports or generic threat lists.

Are we prepared to contain the impact?
The forecast highlights the small number of controls proven to limit damage, helping demonstrate how your current preparedness and response capabilities align with real‑world impact reduction.

Is spending actually reducing the risk?
By recalculating financial impact in combination with understanding key risk drivers, the forecast shows how risk is changing and which investments are most effective at reducing expected loss today.

How do we compare to others?
Industry benchmarking places your risk profile in context, helping executives understand whether their exposure aligns with peers facing the same threat environment.

How the forecast is built
Each Cyber Risk Forecast is produced using a structured, evidence‑driven methodology. We analyze hundreds of validated threat signals from the prior 90 days, apply strict signal weighting, and reassess risk likelihood, financial impact, and emerging threats based on current attacker behavior and geopolitical conditions. Control effectiveness is evaluated against industry baselines to determine which actions measurably reduce loss. Every forecast is internally validated and audited to ensure the results are defensible, repeatable, and trusted for executive and board decision‑making.

How CISOs Use The Forecast Each Month

Subscribers typically use the forecast as a practical operating model to stay ahead of the external risk environment and make time-bound decisions. 

  • Identify where cyber risk is increasing. 

  • Prioritize the small number of scenarios that matter most. 

  • Decide which actions materially reduce exposure. 

  • Explicitly accept or defer lower-impact risks. 

  • Support executive and board-level conversations using forecast likelihood and financial impacts. 

The Cyber Risk Forecast is ongoing support for your risk management efforts — providing clear analysis, updated forecasts, and industry‑specific guidance each month. For roughly the cost of a daily latte, you get deep insights into current and emerging risk along with actionable recommendations. Financial impacts are quantified, and all without adding headcount or buying into expensive systems. Get the support you need and deserve now.

Industry Specific Reporting

Industry‑specific insight you can benchmark against
Cyber risk does not look the same across industries — and managing it effectively requires understanding your sector’s unique threat patterns and constraints. Each Cyber Risk Forecast is built specifically for your industry, measuring how attacks play out in practice and which controls actually reduce impact.

We track industry baseline control effectiveness over time, creating a living benchmark you can compare your organization against to understand where you’re aligned, behind, or genuinely ahead of peers. We also analyze trends across industries to identify which sectors are improving, which are falling behind, and how different industries are adapting to a changing threat environment — insights that help you pressure‑test assumptions and refine priorities with confidence.

How Do You Compare?

A simple method of comparing how your organizations is doing on the most critical controls compared to the rest of your industry.

This is not a maturity rating, this is focused on the few controls that actually change the impact of an attack, shorten duration, lower costs, and keep what could be a minor incident from turning into front page news.

Included FREE with your monthly subscription, and updated monthly as industry control effectiveness changes.
