To ensure the X-Analytics Application remains current and produces reliable outcomes, the X-Analytics Research Team aggregates and analyzes historical and cyber risk intelligence data to calibrate backend variables within X-Analytics.
This update includes:
Risk Index: As part of the migration from Profile Builder 1.0 to Profile Builder 2.0, we updated the risk indexes for web application attacks, point of sale intrusion, misuse, error, theft & loss, crimeware, skimming, cyber-espionage, denial-of-service attack, and everything else.
Overall, there was a 21.0% increase in the risk index values. Though, this will vary by industry vertical.
As the risk index values increase, cyber exposure values tend to decrease. Though, this will vary by threat category and corresponding exposure category.
The increase in risk index values is due to calibration effort to align 1H 2024 industry threat baselines with updated confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact values. Profile Builder 2.0 introduces new and revised confidentiality values for the supported record types, Profile Builder 2.0 introduces new and improved integrity values that are derived from questions being answered in the new profile builder, and Profile Builder 2.0 introduces new and improved availability values based on industry vertical and applicable asset groups.
