Threat βeta: A Validated Measure of Cyber Risk

Traditional cybersecurity risk assessments fall short; scorecards lack context, endpoint tools react only after threats emerge, and many intelligence solutions simply repackage open-source data without actionable insights. Threat βeta is different.

Independently validated, Threat βeta quantifies the likelihood of a cyber event using a financial beta-inspired scale (0 – 2.0). A Threat βeta of 1.0 means an enterprise is neither more nor less likely to experience an incident that industry peers with similar attack surface and exposure. Currently, a Threat βeta greater than 1.46 correlates to a cyber incident in the next 6-9 months.

Unlike fully automated scoring or rating solutions, Threat βeta integrates human analysts into every stage of data collection and analysis. This ensures accuracy, eliminates false-positives, and continually refines our methods.

Threat βeta’s calculation includes:

  • Comprehensive mapping of an enterprise’s external attack surface
  • Deep enumeration of IP addresses, open ports, and exposed technologies
  • Analysis of known vulnerabilities linked to publicly-discoverable assets

By delivering a proactive, science-driven, and repeatable risk metric, Threat βeta provides organizations with clarity and confidence in their external cyber assessment.

With Threat βeta, customers can:

Baseline Enterprise Cyber Risk or at Portfolio Level
Baseline Against Competitors, Peers, Supply Chain, and Industry
Reduce Likelihood of Cyber Risk Scenarios
Inform and Maximize Security Spend & ROI
Prioritize Remediation

Automated Scores Miss the Risks…

We Find Them

Automated cyber risk ratings provide a quick, surface-level score—but they often miss the real risks that can lead to costly breaches. At Cybeta, we go beyond the algorithmic guesswork to deliver a true cyber risk assessment that identifies actual vulnerabilities, evaluates real-world threats, and provides actionable intelligence to strengthen your security posture. While others rely on automated scoring models, our expert-driven analysis ensures you get accurate, context-rich insights that help you stay ahead of cyber threats—not just react to them.
