As cyber risk leaders are called to balance the responsibility of managing risk in the face of both broader attack surfaces and increased regulatory and budgetary scrutiny, prioritization of work is everything. Cybersecurity resources are finite, while the vulnerabilities and threats just keep growing. The best way for modern security programs to keep up is by directing resources to the risks that matter most to their specific organizations.

Today, Kovrr, the leading global provider of on-demand cyber risk quantification (CRQ) solutions, announced the launch of its CRQ-powered cyber risk register, a first-of-its-kind SaaS-based tool designed to provide security and risk managers (SRMs) with quantified insights that enhance cyber governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) initiatives.

Here at Riscosity, our team is keenly aware of the ongoing rise of AI adoption that is taking the world by the storm. As a company whose mission is to help organizations gain control over their 3rd party data flows, it is only logical that our capabilities support AI as well. What better time than RSA to announce the latest AI-related innovation that Riscosity has released!

‍In the early days of cyber risk management, during which the responsibilities of a security and risk manager (SRM) were relatively siloed and limited in scope, leveraging a spreadsheet to maintain a cybersecurity risk register was a practical and widely accepted solution. At that time, the volume and complexity of cyber risks were much more manageable than they are today, making spreadsheets a convenient way to catalog them, prioritize mitigation activities, and track progress.

Is your team's favorite new productivity tool also your biggest data leak waiting to happen? Generative AI (GenAI) assistants like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini have quickly moved from novelty to necessity in many workplaces. These tools use machine learning and advanced algorithms to help employees draft content, analyze data, and even write code faster than ever before.

Your organization’s attack surface extends far beyond your direct control. Exposed cloud assets, vulnerable APIs, and the security posture of your third-party vendors all introduce significant risks. Understanding and managing this external exposure is paramount. Effective External Risk Management (ERM) provides the critical visibility and intelligence needed to proactively address these threats.

MCP, short for Message Communication Protocol, refers to a category of protocols used for exchanging structured messages between systems or applications. It was developed primarily to meet the communication needs of early enterprise systems that required: MCP protocols are often seen in banking, insurance, healthcare, and telecom industries—sectors where many systems were developed before APIs became mainstream.

As a security professional navigating the new challenges constantly cropping up in cybersecurity, it’s critical to understand the ways your organization’s data could be exposed. Safeguarding sensitive information is paramount for organizations across all industries. Whether it's personal data of customers and employees or proprietary business information, the consequences of data breaches can be severe, ranging from financial losses to reputational damage.
