Forrester announced the results of its first-ever Wave report on Cyber Risk Quantification (CRQ).

We believe this recognition validates our technology and approach. RiskLens’ experience, trust, and fidelity, combined with SAFE’s ease-of-use, automation, and cutting-edge AI technology, will enable us to equip businesses with the most advanced cyber risk quantification and management (CRQM) solution.”

The Forrester Wave™ report states that “RiskLens differentiates with its FAIR expertise and guided modeling approach.” It notes that “RiskLens is one of the most recognizable names in CRQ, thanks to its role in creating the Open FAIR standard and in leading the FAIR Institute, a nonprofit professional organization.” The report adds, “Founded in 2011, RiskLens has a long history of introducing innovative features that make FAIR-based CRQ accessible to customers.”

In Forrester’s evaluation, RiskLens received the highest score in the Analytics criterion and the highest possible scores in the following 16 of the 26 criteria including:

Current Offering Category: Methodology (Quantification Model and Scenario Scoping), Comparative Scenario Analysis, User Experience, Integrations, Workflow, Scalability, Financial Losses, Controls, Data Management

“Cyber risk quantification is now a mainstream topic with digital business leaders. Simply curating a cyber stack is no longer enough – organizations must shift their focus to effectively managing cyber risk. With RiskLens and SAFE’s cloud platform, businesses can stay ahead of the game by AI-driven predictions, prioritizing risk actions, and communicating effectively with their board – all in one place,” said Saket Modi, Founder & CEO of Safe. “We are creating the industry standard for cyber risk management.”

“As CRQ has evolved into a must-have solution for CISOs to improve their communication and decision-making about cyber risk, Forrester fills a void in the industry by helping them evaluate the wide variety of available CRQ solutions. As an organization that adopted the FAIR standard as our risk taxonomy and quantification model, we are pleased to see RiskLens recognized as a leader in CRQ,” said Michael Meis, CISO, The University of Kansas Health Systems. “With the automation and AI capabilities that the Safe acquisition of RiskLens brings, customers will be able to efficiently scale CRQ like never before.”
