PeriCertum™ Partners with Arx Nimbus to Fill Gap in Financial Cybersecurity Risk Analysis

FRANKLIN, Tenn., Oct. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PeriCertum, a cybersecurity consultant and solution provider, has formed a strategic partnership with Arx Nimbus to offer organizations the first commercially available cybersecurity risk analysis platform, providing them with a financially based valuation of risk sources and impacts.

"Cybersecurity risk is expanding at an accelerated rate, and recent estimates predict that the financial impact of cybersecurity risk will double to $6 trillion by 2021," says PeriCertum Chief Executive Officer Jeff Sanford. "But historical attempts at quantifying cyber risk have fallen short of providing a complete and reliable picture. With this new partnership, we're able to determine where our clients are most vulnerable, which of these vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited, and how to optimize their limited budget to have the most impact on reducing their cyber risk."

Based on established regulatory requirements, including NIST-800-53, FERC, FFIEC and related standardized frameworks, Arx Nimbus' Thrivaca™ Risk Profile Platform takes organizations' cybersecurity risk reduction efforts past the limitations of professional opinion and expert judgment. By combining a regulator-mandated architectural foundation with 21st-century risk mathematics models developed in collaboration with economists and actuaries, it produces a financially literate risk profile that spans the entire enterprise. Organizations can use Thrivaca risk analytics to advance their regulatory compliance, improve their litigation preparedness, determine proper insurance and cybersecurity budget levels, and apply their cybersecurity resources to the areas of greatest cyber risk.

"Using the Thrivaca Risk Profile Platform, PeriCertum's clients can identify the complete landscape of sources of cyber risk," says R. David Moon, Arx Nimbus Chief Executive Officer. "They can then work with PeriCertum's experts to implement the proper solutions to mitigate these critical risks."

With the proliferation of Internet users worldwide, increasing enterprise dependence on digital technology, the radical expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile technology and connected vehicles, cyber risk exposure is permeating virtually all segments of society and commerce.

"The risks keep growing, but no organization has an unlimited cyber budget," says Sanford. "And that means the investment in cybersecurity has to be targeted to those areas where you're most vulnerable. By taking the guesswork out of the financial aspects, the Thrivaca Risk Profile gives us yet another powerful tool for helping clients make smart decisions to protect the enterprise."

The new offering enhances PeriCertum's Risk Identification and Quantification solution, a foundational component of its complete suite of cybersecurity services, which also includes prioritization and budget, prediction and prevention, risk mitigation, deep assessment, third-party risk scoring, and secure cyber operations.
