Bitsight and Moody's Launch New Cyber Risk Solution Covering More Than 325 Million Organizations Bitsight and Moody's announced the launch of the Implied Cyber Threat (ICT), an offering built on Bitsight's leading cyber risk analytics engine and Moody's Orbis company database. The ICT provides cyber risk insights and valuable market context for more than 325 million organizations worldwide - the highest coverage in the market by a factor of over 25x. As the global economy becomes increasingly digital and losses from cyber events continue to climb, cyber risk has become a primary consideration beyond the enterprise security suite. Organizations need cyber risk insights into all third parties they do business with, including insureds, investments, and borrowers. The ICT is an industry-first analytic that facilitates a unified, comparable assessment of the inherent risks these organizations face. The ICT quantifies the inherent cyber risk for an organization based on Moody's leading firmographic indicators including company size, sector and geography, plus a unique subset of Bitsight's risk vectors including botnet infections and open ports. The result is a highly actionable inherent risk indicator, with a significant correlation to breach and ransomware. Entities with very high risk are nearly 11x more likely to experience a security incident compared to very low risk entities. In this regard, the ICT can act as a powerful standalone indicator of relative cyber risk as well as a contextual complement to Bitsight's performance analytics. The ICT is now available to customers of Moody's Orbis and Catalyst offerings. Duyuru • Apr 17
