Case Study: Large Financial Firm Justifies Security Investments with RiskLens

Large Financial Firm Jus2fies Security Investments with Risk Quantfication

Large Financial Firm, a $2B-revenue financial services organization with more than 3,000 employee workstations, was struggling to justify growing security investments in business terms. As malware incidents increased, security management needed a clearer way to communicate risk beyond qualitative ratings like High/Medium/Low. They turned to RiskLens to help quantify the issue using financial impact.

Using the RiskLens platform and its FAIR-based risk quantification capabilities, the team built a current-state analysis and then a second version modeling the effect of a malware protection service. RiskLens’ comparison reporting showed average annualized loss exposure drop from $6.6M to $1.2M, against an estimated service cost of about $500K per year. The measurable reduction provided a clear business case, and the proposed security initiative was approved.
