Cipherbit translates complex security events into quantified, business-aligned risk intelligence — empowering executives, boards, and risk leaders to make confident, informed decisions without requiring deep cybersecurity expertise.
Most organizations treat cybersecurity as a technical discipline — a world of alerts, logs, and threat signatures that rarely translate into meaningful boardroom conversation. Cipherbit changes that fundamental dynamic.
By calculating risk using the two foundational elements — probability and potential impact — Cipherbit transforms raw security device events into quantified risk values that executives already understand. CFOs see risk expressed in dollars tied directly to assets under threat. Security analysts receive prioritized lists of devices and systems requiring remediation. Every stakeholder gets the right information in the right language.
Live log ingestion, computational statistics, and machine learning determine the likelihood of a successful attack for each detected vulnerability.
Each network device and its contents are quantified so that financial exposure is calculated and communicated in near real-time.
Probability × Impact yields actionable, business-grade risk scores — presented continuously, not just at quarterly assessments.
Cipherbit is purpose-built to align cybersecurity strategy with enterprise risk management — enabling accurate, data-driven decisions at the executive and board level. Each capability addresses a distinct business challenge.
Detect threats beyond SIEM thresholds and focus response on critical assets.
Continuous, real-time risk scoring eliminates manual quarterly campaigns.
Satisfy HIPAA, PCI/DSS, and other regulatory requirements continuously.
Align governance, risk, and compliance to avoid credit and insurability risk.
Bridge the CISO-to-board communication gap with business-fluent risk language.
Quantify controls and exposure to lower premiums and improve risk transfer terms.
Demonstrate due diligence and satisfy fiduciary monitoring obligations.
Unify GRC analytics across departments into one authoritative platform.
Cipherbit defaults to continuous analysis — every element in the computing environment is assessed against threat factors in real-time, with results reported on minute, hourly, daily, and monthly schedules. This eliminates the need for separate risk assessment tools and the organizational burden of periodic campaigns.
The result is a major upgrade in controls and governance, with measurably lower cost, reduced organizational resistance, and significantly higher risk confidence across leadership.
Cybersecurity regulations — from HIPAA to PCI/DSS — demand increasing frequency for validation of security controls and vulnerability scanning. Cipherbit provides a continuous flow of vulnerability and threat validation on quantified, exposed assets, their remediation status, and change factors.
Cybersecurity is no longer solely a technology concern. Financial institutions are beginning to classify non-compliance as a credit risk. Organizations out of step with industry security standards may find themselves technically uninsurable — and therefore unable to qualify for loans or lines of credit. Moody's decision to cut its rating outlook for Equifax from stable to negative is an early case study of what lies ahead.
Precedent from Caremark (1996) establishes that directors can be held personally liable for failing to monitor and supervise the enterprise. Cipherbit produces unprecedented visibility into threats and risk, satisfying the full scope of monitoring, supervision, and due-attention obligations.
Insurers have historically relied on qualitative assessments — with any false statement voiding the policy. Cipherbit's quantified controls data and financial impact modeling strengthen the accuracy of insurance applications, resulting in lower premiums and expanded risk transfer opportunity.
Non-compliance with sector security standards increasingly disqualifies organizations from financing. Cipherbit's GRC alignment ensures that leadership can demonstrate continuous, documented compliance — protecting both creditworthiness and enterprise insurability.
Cybersecurity leaders who rise from technical backgrounds tend to communicate in the language of systems — alerts, patches, and threat vectors. Board members and executives operate in the language of business — risk, return, liability, and strategy. Cipherbit closes that disconnect.
With Cipherbit, a CISO can meaningfully participate in enterprise risk management (ERM) conversations, presenting security posture in terms directly tied to business outcomes. Leadership can evaluate whether a proposed mitigation plan makes bottom-line sense — or whether the reduction in risk is insufficient to justify the investment. This transforms cybersecurity from a cost center into a strategic business function.
Risk expressed in dollar values, tied directly to specific assets and probable financial impact — no translation required.
Prioritized lists of devices, databases, and assets at risk so remediation efforts are directed at the most critical targets first.
Continuous, auditable risk posture reporting that satisfies fiduciary oversight obligations and supports confident governance decisions.
The cybersecurity market was valued at $114 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach $259 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 12%. Rapid escalation of malware and phishing threats, accelerating cloud adoption, and continued dependence on legacy systems are the primary growth drivers.
Security scorecards and dashboards are already commonplace in boardrooms — but they fall far short of what organizations actually need. Cipherbit is differentiated at three fundamental levels:
Global cybersecurity market growth from $114B to $259B, 2018–2025 (CAGR 12%).
Gartner's 2019 security and risk management research identified five macro trends reshaping how organizations approach cybersecurity. Cipherbit was designed to address each of them directly.
Cipherbit enables business leaders to map actual quantified risk to risk appetite statements in near real-time — eliminating confusion at strategic meetings and ensuring security leaders speak directly to board-level decisions.
By 2022, 50% of all SOCs were projected to transform into modern, integrated operations. Cipherbit reduces complexity, lowers noise, and automates metrics consolidation — enabling incident response to be prioritized and directed with precision.
Leading organizations are shifting from acquiring technology first to starting from business risk. Cipherbit focuses the entire organization — from CISO to board — on business risk tied to information assets, enabling intelligent technology decisions.
With 1.5 million unfilled cybersecurity roles projected by 2020, resource efficiency is critical. By focusing remediation on critical assets and prioritizing based on quantified risk rather than noise, Cipherbit maximizes the value of existing teams.
Gartner estimated the majority of cloud security failures through 2023 would be customer-caused. Cipherbit's continuous asset monitoring and risk quantification extends naturally to cloud environments, ensuring shared-responsibility gaps are identified and addressed.
Cipherbit ingests live log data from existing security devices, device log stores, and third-party data sources — requiring no rip-and-replace of current infrastructure. From that raw data, a sophisticated analytical engine produces actionable, role-appropriate risk intelligence.
The platform is the first cybersecurity solution on the market to quantify both the probability of negative events and their potential financial impact simultaneously — calculating and communicating quantitative risk in near real-time, in a format tailored to both business and technology audiences.
Organizations that continue to rely on qualitative risk assessments and static heat maps are leaving their executives, boards, and shareholders exposed — to breaches, regulatory penalties, credit downgrades, and personal liability. The gap between the technical language of security and the business language of risk has already cost organizations billions.
Cipherbit closes that gap. It is not a replacement for your security team — it is the intelligence layer that makes every stakeholder in your organization more effective, more accountable, and more protected.
Fulfill fiduciary duty with continuous, auditable evidence of cybersecurity oversight — and protect directors from personal liability.
Make risk-informed decisions about investment, insurance, compliance, and strategy — in real business terms, not technical jargon.
Replace quarterly manual campaigns with continuous, automated risk scoring — and demonstrate compliance to regulators, auditors, and insurers with confidence.
