Many companies implement cyber security frameworks or standards and hope this is enough to protect their precious information assets.
A box is ticked, but are their assets safe? Probably not– at some time every single organisation is likely to be attacked. Isn’t it time organisations started managing this risk quantitatively?
CDCAT quantitatively assesses an organisation's cyber defences, highlighting their effectiveness and capability vulnerabilities, and enabling appropriate actions to be taken to address or mitigate the risks identified.
How can CDCAT help manage Cyber Security risk?
- CDCAT looks at the ability of a company’s whole system to control outcomes, scrutinising performance and optimisation measures. This control systems view uses real-world evidence to determine operational resilience quantitatively and from this CDCAT services can calculate system effectiveness and therefore effectiveness vulnerability, such as a company’s inability to defend their assets.
- To assist in risk management CDCAT supports incremental assessment and improvement. As a typical change programme might take two to three years to execute, the results of a full assessment from day one can never be implemented immediately. Hence CDCAT’s ability to frequently refresh and add new strategies of assessment as digital transformation progresses. Little changes, often assessed.
- CDCAT provides a plethora of value adding vulnerability and road mapping advice to support transformations.
If you would like to move away from just meeting standards, to quantitatively empowered operational risk management CDCAT provides the answer.
