Most organizations have invested in their cybersecurity programs, ensuring that targeted actions have been taken, such as the deployment of security tools or the formalization of cyber-relevant policies, to reduce their exposure.

‍ ‍Cyber risk quantification (CRQ) is the process of attributing numerical values to a cyber event's impact on an organization. When defined in financial terms, these values enable enterprises to assess and manage their cyber risks at the operational level.

‍Cyber risk quantification (CRQ) is the process of translating cyber intelligence, both organization-specific and external, into measurable business terms. Typical high-level outputs include Average Annual Loss (AAL), or a business's expected financial loss from cyber events, and the Annual Events Likelihood. With CRQ, cyber governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) leaders can also drill down into more granular metrics for additional, scenario-specific context.

‍ ‍With the continuously expanding influence that cybersecurity has in determining an organization's financial and operational resilience, cyber risk quantification (CRQ) has steadily become a foundational component of any robust cyber governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) program.
