The challenge.

Cyber gets overlooked in business and IT strategy discussions and decisions. For many organisations, technology is the cornerstone everything else rests on.

Senior leaders are not cyber experts, and the cyber experts are not at the table. The result: the cyber element is forgotten.
Cloud Migration
Discussed and decided:
The business case shows lower management costs, more flexibility and better scalability.
The forgotten cyber Risks
The organisation's risk profile changes drastically. What changes in the risk of outages, data loss and dependency on cloud providers?
Merger & Acquisition
Discussed and decided:
The organisation secures its future by diversifying its activities or growing market share through an acquisition.
The forgotten cyber Risks
Technical debt, vulnerable systems, duplicated controls and incompatibility with the existing IT and security set-up.
Cyber insurance
Discussed and decided:
The portfolio holder renews the property, liability and cyber insurance together with the broker, with a limit of €5 million and an excess of €150,000.
The forgotten cyber risks
Which cyber risks does the policy actually cover? What loss could the organisation carry itself? Are the limits high enough, or too low? And what part do additional measures play?
—  Take control

Make cyber a strategic subject.

By approaching cyber risk in the language of senior leadership, you become a strategic conversation partner. There are two ways to do this.
Embed cyber in current organisational decisions
A CISO is asked to advise on a strategic situation and brings us in to quantify the cyber risk and weigh it into the decision.
Initiate change with business cases
Make the case for a change you want, such as buying a security tool, with a clear business case in euros.

— The approach

Cyber risk as part of the business case.

With Cyber Economics we calculate the cyber risk in your specific case. So you know which risks are relevant to you, what they could cost and which decision suits your organisation best.

We analyse the decision

We establish what success looks like for this decision and analyse how cyber risk affects it.

We quantify the cyber risks

We determine the financial consequences of the cyber risks for the decision and express them in euros.

We justify the answer

We compare options, measures and investments, and translate the results into tailored advice.
