How security teams can report cyber risk to boards

This post addresses how security teams can translate cyber risk into board-level financial terms using data-driven quantification methods.

• •Traditional security reports use technical severity ratings that boards cannot act on; quantification converts this into dollar-denominated financial exposure estimates
• •Probabilistic financial modeling (Monte Carlo simulations) runs thousands of attack scenarios against actual asset values and control effectiveness to produce defensible loss ranges
• •Databricks Genie enables risk leaders to synthesize security posture data, asset data, and business impact data in a single governed environment
• •Quantitative reporting shows expected loss ranges (e.g., '30% probability of $10M loss') enabling investment prioritization, versus qualitative Red/Amber/Green reporting
