14 DAY TRIAL // If your company has become the target of a cybercriminal operation, or if you fear that it might soon be targeted in a certain type of attack, it could be very useful to understand and evaluate the damage and the costs. CyberTab is a free tool that does just that.
Released by The Economist Intelligence Unit and sponsored by Booz Allen Hamilton, CyberTab is an easy-to-use tool that can estimate the financial impact of a cyberattack.
Users have to specify their industry, their revenue, number of employees, number of customers, the type of attack, details on how it was detected, and attack-related expenses, and they get a detailed report explaining total costs. This enables a cost-benefit analysis of security strategies.
CyberTab can be useful to information security, risk, financial and other types of senior executives.
CyberTab doesn’t collect any data without permission and it doesn’t ask for any information that could identify users.
“Executives can gain new insight into their own company’s risks by using CyberTab, and can do so anonymously and leave no trace of their data,” said Riva Richmond, editor at The Economist Intelligence Unit.
“But we want people to be part of the solution and take part in our research programme. By submitting data anonymously, they will be taking a step towards a broader understanding this complex problem.”
CyberTab is available on Booz Allen Hamilton’s website.
