The Financial Reality: Why This Matters
For mid-sized organizations, a cybersecurity breach is no longer a matter of "if," but "when" — and the true cost extends far beyond a simple ransom payment. Many leaders operate under a false sense of security, unaware that the collateral damage of an incident — including operational downtime, legal liabilities, and permanent loss of client trust — can easily spiral into seven figures.
The Cyber Impact Calculator strips away the technical jargon to reveal the hard fiscal reality of a breach. By quantifying your specific risk profile, this tool transforms cybersecurity from a vague "IT expense" into a critical business continuity strategy, giving you the data needed to justify proactive investment before the first line of code is compromised.
Our calculator utilizes industry threat data and insurance benchmarks to project the total estimated economic impact of a security failure tailored to your business. By inputting key variables — such as your annual revenue, employee count, and industry — the tool calculates the weighted cost.
The result is a simple "Exposure Score" that highlights the potential cost consequence your organization can measure, and the potential savings of a "defense-in-depth" posture.
