The X-Analytics Cyber Risk-Reporting Service brought to you by NACD is an annual subscription that provides quarterly board reports highlighting the financial exposure attributable to an organization’s cyber risk, leveraging the same analytics used by leaders within the cyber insurance industry.                                                                                                                                             

                                                                 

 

The reports detail the following:
  • An organization’s overall financial exposure to cyber risks and cyberattacks
  • A view of the cyber threats most likely to cause financial losses to a business
  • Insights on the cyber controls most effective in mitigating financial losses
  • Insights on cyber risk transfer/cyber insurance, including ”stress testing” existing policies across of range of potential cyber incidents
