Case Study: Packaged Goods Manufacturer achieves scalable cyber risk quantification with ThreatConnect

Automated Cyber Risk Quantification Changes the Game at this Consumer Packaged Goods Manufacturer

Packaged Goods Manufacturer, one of the world’s largest consumer packaged goods companies, needed a better way to understand and communicate cyber risk across thousands of applications, factories, and legal entities. Its security team was manually quantifying risk, but the results did not scale and business leaders could not easily connect technical controls to financial impact. ThreatConnect’s Risk Quantifier (RQ) was brought in to help the company translate cyber risk into business terms and align security and business stakeholders.

ThreatConnect implemented Risk Quantifier to automate cyber risk quantification, model inherent and residual risk, and run “what if” scenarios showing how control changes affected financial exposure. The solution replaced labor-intensive Excel-based analysis and enabled the company to deliver results for more than 250 applications and 30 legal entities in under 90 days, later onboarding over 280 applications and 41 entities. The impact included board-level conversations about financial cyber risk and better collaboration with business owners on accepting or reducing risk.
