By Nicola (Nick) Sanna

In today’s digital landscape, managing cyber risk is no longer just a technical issue—it’s a strategic business imperative. With cyber threats evolving at an unprecedented pace, organizations need a proactive and transparent approach to managing risks. This is where SAFE comes in. As a leader in AI-powered, continuous cyber risk management, SAFE empowers businesses to quantify, prioritize, and mitigate cyber risks in real-time. 

But what exactly does SAFE do, and why is it a game-changer in cybersecurity? Let’s dive in.

What SAFE Does: Continuous Cyber Risk Management

SAFE’s core mission is to make cybersecurity a business accelerator by enabling organizations to understand and manage cyber risks with confidence. Its unique approach revolves around ‘Cyber Risk Singularity’—a revolutionary concept that integrates data, AI, and automated risk models into a single platform for real-time, comprehensive cyber risk management.

Key Features of SAFE’s Approach

1. Real-Time Risk Monitoring – SAFE continuously assesses risk across internal and external attack surfaces, covering enterprises, third-party vendors, and SaaS environments.

2. AI-Powered Automation – By leveraging over 100 integrations, automated workflows, and data-driven insights, SAFE streamlines risk assessment, reporting, and mitigation.

3. Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ) – Using industry-leading standards like FAIR and MITRE ATT&CK, SAFE translates cybersecurity risks into business-friendly terms (financial impact and likelihood).

4. Business Alignment – SAFE ensures that cybersecurity strategies align with organizational goals and risk appetite, making cyber risk management a strategic enabler.

5. Adaptability & Transparency – The platform continuously updates its risk models to account for emerging threats, regulatory changes, and evolving business priorities.

Why SAFE Stands Out

Unlike traditional manual, black-box, point-in-time assessments, SAFE offers a continuous, automated, and defensible risk management solution. It is built on open and transparent risk standards, allowing decision-makers to trust the data and insights provided.

SAFE is also recognized as:

• The category leader in Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ), according to Forrester Research.
• The only platform built 100% on open, automated risk standards like FAIR, FAIR-CAM, FAIR-MAM, and MITRE ATT&CK.
• Trusted by hundreds of leading organizations such as Cigna, Meta, Netflix, Fidelity, IHG, Chevron, and Caterpillar.
  

Helping Organizations at all Levels of Maturity

SAFE has pre-packaged key risk scenarios, data integrations, benchmark loss data, risk treatment recommendations, and risk reporting into its software platform. This makes it easy for organizations, regardless of their maturity level, to benefit from continuous cyber risk management.

SAFE and its certified partners provide implementation services to help customers adopt these new risk management best practices.

How SAFE Adds Value to Cybersecurity Leaders
CISOs are responsible for guiding the C-suite in effectively managing cyber risk and strengthening organizational resilience. However, many CISOs remain under-involved in critical business decisions that are directly impacted by cybersecurity, leading to potential gaps in preparedness and investment. Alarmingly, only 21% of executives allocate their cyber budgets based on their organization’s highest risks.

To drive executive alignment and secure necessary investments, it’s crucial to consistently measure and quantify cyber risk in a way that resonates with leadership. By framing cybersecurity in business terms and clearly demonstrating its direct impact on growth and overall risk posture, CISOs can bridge the gap between cyber risk and business strategy—ensuring cybersecurity is a value driver, not just a cost center.

SAFE is designed for CISOs, GRC Leaders, and Third-Party Risk Managers, helping them:

• Gain real-time visibility into cyber risks.
• Prioritize and automate risk treatments.
• Scale regulatory and risk reporting efforts.
• Optimize and justify cybersecurity investments and third party cyber risk management programs.

By shifting the cybersecurity conversation from technical compliance to business resilience and financial impact, SAFE enables organizations to “go faster, safely” in their digital transformation journeys.

Conclusion: Why SAFE Matters:

As cyber threats continue to evolve, organizations need a data-driven, AI-powered, and automated approach to cyber risk management. SAFE provides the tools, insights, and automation needed to turn cybersecurity into a business enabler rather than a blocker.

By leveraging continuous risk assessments, AI-driven automation, and open risk standards, SAFE is helping businesses confidently navigate the complexities of cybersecurity—ensuring that cyber risks are understood, managed, and mitigated before they become costly incidents.
