The FICO® Cyber Risk Score is an empirical score that relies on a comprehensive and diverse set of cyber security data signals, to quickly determine the risk profile of any organization. These insights outline key risk indicators, including the health of IT systems, network infrastructure and software and services. This information is used to fine-tune the machine learning model that produces a risk score that forecasts the likelihood of a future breach event for a given company or its third-party vendors.

“FICO’s Cyber Risk Score provides the only predictive measurement of cyber risk in the security rating market, helping risk managers be proactive in assessment as well as health of their vendor ecosystem,” said Manish Karir, vice president of cyber solutions, FICO.  “We are excited to strategically partner with Whistic to deliver a differentiated cyber risk offering for vendor management.”
