ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier

ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier (RQ) is a cyber risk quantification solution that expresses cyber risk in financial terms, helping security leaders explain exposure to executives and boards in the language of business. It became part of Dataminr along with the rest of ThreatConnect in 2025.

RQ models the likelihood and financial impact of cyber events such as ransomware, data breaches and business interruption, using industry loss data, threat intelligence and information about an organization's controls and assets. Its automated modeling reduces the heavy data-gathering effort that traditional quantification projects require, and outputs include loss exceedance curves, top risk scenarios and the expected return on proposed security investments. RQ can ingest control and asset information from tools such as ServiceNow Integrated Risk Management and vulnerability scanners, and results can guide cyber insurance decisions and budget planning.

CISOs, risk managers and finance teams use RQ to prioritize spending on the controls that reduce the most risk, justify security budgets and report cyber risk consistently alongside other enterprise risks.
