Cyber Risk Rating
Turn Cyber Risk Into Clear, Actionable Security Insights.
Cyber Risk Rating Overview
See Your Cyber Risk from an Attacker’s Perspective
Gain continuous visibility into your organisation’s external attack surface, vulnerabilities, security posture, and third-party risks. Cyber Risk Rating provides an independent, outside-in view of your environment, helping you identify exposures, understand their significance, and prioritise action before they can be exploited.
DISCOVER
External Attack Surface
Continuously discover internet-facing assets, exposed systems, domains, IPs, and cloud environments.
PRIORITISE
Risk & Threat Context
Correlate vulnerabilities with real-world threats and prioritise exposures based on severity and likelihood of exploitation.
IDENTIFY
Vulnerabilities & Exposures
Identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, open ports, insecure services, and other external security weaknesses.
MONITOR
Continuous Risk Visibility
Track changes in security posture, third-party risks, and performance over time to identify emerging areas of concern.
SCORE
Cyber Risk Rating
Measure your security posture through continuous risk scoring, security ratings, and industry benchmarking.
IMPROVE
Reduce Cyber Risk
Turn risk insights into actionable remediation priorities that help continuously strengthen your organisation’s external security posture.
The Threat Landscape
As organisations expand their digital footprint across cloud platforms, internet-facing systems, domains, applications, and third-party ecosystems, their external attack surface continues to grow. New assets, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed services can emerge over time, creating security gaps that attackers may discover and exploit before internal teams are aware of them.
Without continuous visibility into external cyber risk, organisations may struggle to understand where they are exposed, which weaknesses pose the greatest risk, and how their security posture is changing. Cyber Risk Rating provides an independent, outside-in view that continuously identifies exposures, measures security posture, monitors third-party risks, and helps organisations prioritise improvements before weaknesses can be exploited.
Attack Surface
INTERNET-FACING ASSETS CAN CREATE HIDDEN EXPOSURE
Unknown & Exposed Assets
Organisations may have internet-facing systems, services, domains, and cloud assets that are unknown or insufficiently secured. Attackers continuously scan external environments for weaknesses that can provide an entry point.
Risk Changes
YOUR SECURITY POSTURE DOESN’T STAY STATIC
Evolving Risk Posture
New assets, vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and infrastructure changes can alter your organisation’s external risk profile. Cyber Risk Rating continuously identifies these changes, helping security teams understand where new exposures are emerging.
Beyond Your Walls
THIRD-PARTY RISK CAN BECOME YOUR RISK
Supply Chain Exposure
Vendors, suppliers, and other third parties can introduce additional cyber risk. Monitoring their external security posture helps identify higher-risk vendors and provides greater visibility across your broader digital ecosystem.
