Advanced Modeling

Content pack data helpers that are produced with proprietary modeling developed by the RiskLens Risk Science and Data Science teams by leveraging public and private cyber datasets. These go beyond industry statistics by using advanced techniques to adjust for time and scenario context to translate data to FAIR parameters.

Industry Statistic

Published research data and findings are becoming more common in the cyber risk quantification space. RiskLens seeks to surface reliable and trusted cyber data sources containing summary statistics to produce industry-contextualized data helpers. The data sources used may be results of peer reviewed research studies, industry publications, or information sharing organizations.

Professional Estimate

Through professional services consulting, RiskLens has analyzed thousands of scenarios across hundreds of large enterprises in critical industries such as healthcare, financial services, and technology. The RiskLens’ collective expertise gained from these engagements has contributed to these expert-estimated ranges and decision criteria. These ranges can be used as-is, or refined further to match your specific context.

Template

The most difficult aspect of data helper creation is identifying the key drivers that impact the estimate and categorizing them in a meaningful way. Drawing on RiskLens' collective expertise, these data helper structures and decision criteria were designed based on the key drivers and differentiators of thousands of real-world scenarios analyzed by the RiskLens professional services consulting team. The scenarios came from services with hundreds of large enterprises in critical industries such as healthcare, financial services, and technology. The templates are populated with default, generic data to be refined by the organization.

Provided as-is

Generic Range

In certain cases, the goal is to complete a scenario with broad, documented assumptions. These data helpers make sense in terms of structured ranges, but are not based on expert knowledge or industry averages. They are designed to allow users to express assumptions about scenarios in a quick, efficient, and consistent manner.
