Case Study: a global industrial manufacturer quantifies and reduces cyber risk with DeNexus DeRISK

a global industrial manufacturer reduces high-impact cyber losses by 7% with DeNexus

A global industrial manufacturer faced the challenge of quantifying its cyber risk in financial terms across its operational technology (OT) environments. Despite having standard cybersecurity practices, its leadership struggled to justify budgets, communicate risk to non-technical stakeholders, and gain visibility into vulnerabilities. To overcome this, the manufacturer implemented the DeRISK platform from vendor DeNexus.

The DeNexus solution provided data-driven risk modeling using OT network telemetry. This implementation quantified risk in dollars, revealing significantly higher exposure at one site and demonstrating an 8.4% reduction in Annual Expected Loss at another after control enhancements. The results empowered the manufacturer to prioritize cybersecurity investments, improve executive decision-making, and enhance alignment with insurance and regulatory requirements.
