This bottom-up approach to risk aggregation enables CRQM platforms to reliably predict where and how
incidents are likely to occur in each client’s unique context, and then translate that information into dollars
at risk. The critical financial metrics that CRQM delivers to CISOs include value at risk, probability of loss,
financial impact of cyber incidents, expected ROI, and risk reduction from evaluated risk mitigation
projects. By applying these CRQM principles coupled with AI techniques, CISOs and CFOs can work
together to craft the most appropriate risk mitigation strategies for their distinct facilities.
