Questions
X-Analytics is a cyber risk intelligence solution powered by a patented cyber risk management ontology. It measures your cyber risk in financial terms and connects it to the actions that reduce it, so you know what to fix first, where to spend, and how to show your program's progress.
Less than you might expect, because the hard part is already built: a patented cyber risk ontology and one of the industry's largest continuously growing collections of actual cyber loss data, organized by industry and geography. We take care of that. You make it your own with high-level details about your business, such as annual revenue, countries of operation, and employee count, plus a view of your cybersecurity program, such as a recent assessment, among other details.
X-Analytics draws on over 100 external data sources and continuously updates its analytics as the threat environment changes: threats, financial impacts, and incident probabilities across 21 industry verticals and 18 geographic regions. That external picture is then blended with something no outside source can see: the characteristics of your business and your program. The external data keeps the measure current; what you share makes it yours, not an industry average.
Every insight comes from a patented, market-proven cyber risk ontology: a consistent, well-defined way to represent exposure, controls, threats, and the relationships between them. The ontology blends real-world loss data with the characteristics of your business and program, so every number is transparent, defensible, and repeatable. It's the difference between AI you can demo and AI you can stand behind.
A profile (a view of risk for a defined scope, such as a business or business unit) can be built within minutes. On average, comprehensive cyber risk insights arrive in under an hour.
Immediately after building a profile, you'll see advanced cyber risk insights. Most customers begin incorporating them into discussions and decisions within one or two meetings with our Customer Success team, with no changes to their existing program.
Customers report about an hour of attention each month, mostly confirming that profiles still represent the business and the program accurately after changes such as mergers, acquisitions, or new technology deployments. The solution and your Customer Success team make those updates easy to incorporate.
In minutes, not months. Acquire a new business? Your profile updates within an hour. Divest part of the business? Within an hour. Restructure completely? You get the idea. This holds for small businesses, large enterprises, private equity portfolios, and everything in between.
X-Analytics connects to the tools you already own via MCP, with no rip and replace. The intelligence is useful from the first minute, and each connection sharpens the picture by bringing your live vulnerability, endpoint, GRC, or supply-chain data into the analysis.
Enterprise-level support from a dedicated Customer Success Manager who is well-versed in the X-Analytics solution and risk management practices, plus access to our broader team of experts when questions arise.
CISOs, like the businesses they protect, are unique. But the most common job is prioritization: which risks carry the greatest exposure, which actions reduce the most risk per dollar, and what to do first. From there, the same measure does double duty, justifying investments, shaping strategy, and educating stakeholders with a number everyone can stand behind.
Boards want to help, and they can help most when cyber risk arrives in the language they already speak: dollars. With X-Analytics, "we're 95% compliant" becomes "here's our exposure, and here's how much it has fallen as we've closed gaps," so the board and the security team make decisions with a shared understanding.
No. Your tools find and track risk; X-Analytics completes the program they support. It measures the financial exposure behind what they surface and ranks the actions that reduce it, and those priorities flow back into the workflows you already run.
CRQ tools quantify exposure and stop. X-Analytics is an agentic cyber risk solution that completes the picture: it measures your financial exposure and connects it to the actions that reduce the most risk per dollar, in minutes. A number tells you where you stand; X-Analytics' ontology tells you what to do about it, defensibly.
Yes, and you can check them. Every recommendation is explainable: you can see which inputs moved your exposure and why an action ranks where it does. The reasoning runs on a patented, market-proven cyber risk ontology built from actual cyber loss events, the same approach that helps inform tens of thousands of cyber insurance policies per year.
“X-Analytics delivers a transparent and scalable approach that separates them from others on the market by delivering the financial exposure analysis, risk prioritization and budget rationalization the market demands.”
