Assessing cyber risk from an attacker’s point of view involves analyzing the potential threats and vulnerabilities that exist within an organization’s IT infrastructure. The process includes identifying the different entry points and weaknesses attackers could exploit.

An effective cyber risk assessment requires monitoring hundreds of unique sources where cybercriminals exchange tools, information, and techniques to carry out attacks that are relevant to an organization’s operations.

Identifying potential threat actors and monitoring these sources provide valuable insight into the latest attack methods and trends. Based on this information, effective countermeasures can be devised to mitigate cyberattack risks.
