Cyber Threats Pose Broader Spectrum of Risks to Businesses

=====================================================

A growing threat landscape is putting businesses worldwide at risk of financial, technical, reputational, and operational losses, according to Moody’s Corporation.

Assessing and Countering Emerging Risks

As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, organizations must develop a seamless and effective methodology to assess, track, and counteract these emergent risks. Moody’s offers a suite of solutions that integrate cyber risk analytics into cross-business risk assessments, enabling businesses to make more informed decisions and enhance their resilience.

Launch of Moody’s Cyber Industry Steering Group

The launch of Moody’s Cyber Industry Steering Group aims to support the growth of the global cyber insurance market by developing initiatives that address the evolving threat landscape. The group will be anchored by leading market participants in the insurance and cybersecurity industries.

Moody’s RMS Cyber Model

Moody’s RMS cyber model uses a multidimensional assessment to identify and quantify key risk variables, including:

  • Threat-actor groups
  • Human vulnerabilities

This proprietary research is embedded in an innovative risk modeling framework that can model individual and portfolio-level risks.

Quotes from David Platt
