Cybersecurity Threat & Exposure Management (CTEM) enables continuous asset discovery and contextual analytics to deliver a single pane of visibility and prioritize exposures in real time.

Financial risk intelligence

Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) provides open FAIR-based financial modeling and real-time, board-ready insights to manage cyber risk as a measurable business function.

Trusted AI governance

Data and AI Security Posture Management (AI SPM) integrates AI security and responsible AI governance to enable model visibility, explainability and protection across the lifecycle.

What is cybersecurity performance management?

Cybersecurity performance management (CPM) is an AI-powered approach for managing cyber risk as a measurable business function. It unifies risk visibility and prioritization, financial quantification, compliance and AI trust – enabling organizations to analyze, measure and govern cyber risk with business context and clarity.

Why do enterprises need a unified cybersecurity platform?

In a typical enterprise, risks span across assets, identities (human/ non-human), cloud and applications; siloed tools create blind spots and delays. A unified platform normalizes data, assets, correlates metrices and provides a single source of truth for operations and business.

What are the benefits of consolidating cybersecurity tools into one platform?

Benefits include consolidation, lower cost and complexity, fewer handoffs or manual efforts and faster MTTR. It also improves risk visibility, automates workflows and deliver easy, consistent reporting and governance.

What are the key challenges in measuring cyber risk across the organization?

Fragmented data, CVSS-only scoring, unclear control effectiveness, fragmented data, inconsistent risk metrics and limited linkage between technical exposure into business impact (INR) without contextual inputs.

How do risk and performance management align in cybersecurity?

In Cybersecurity performance management (CPM), cyber risk is evaluated not only on technical severity but also on business criticality, financial impact and risk appetite. It provides clear visibility into assets, weaknesses, threats, vulnerabilities, control effectiveness and compromisability. This alignment enables leaders to balance risk reduction with performance outcomes – so that security investments directly support resilience, growth and capital efficiency.

Why is AI trust critical for enterprise cybersecurity?

As organizations adopt AI at scale, trust becomes foundational. It maintains transparency, security, privacy and compliance across data, models and agents – preventing leakage, misuse and regulatory exposure while enabling responsible, confident AI-driven innovation. CPM supports this by providing transparent logic, auditable actions and human-in-the-loop controls, building the trust needed to automate safely.

How does cyber performance management support faster decisions?

Cybersecurity performance management (CPM) provides enterprises with holistic visibility on assets, weaknesses, threats, controls remediation and co-relation — all within a unified platform, reducing siloed processes with actionable and connected risk metrices.
