ThreatConnect Releases Risk Quantifier™ 6.0 — Driving Continued Innovation in Cyber Risk Quantification
18.10.2021 13:30:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
ThreatConnect Inc.®, the leader in reducing complexity and enabling better decision making in cybersecurity, today released ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier™ 6.0 (RQ 6.0), continuing its innovation in the emerging field of cyber risk quantification.
ThreatConnect Risk Quantifier™ (RQ) enables companies to see the financial risks they face from cyber attacks and also prioritize investments that provide the best ROI. RQ’s calculations are informed by your internal environment, threat intelligence, vulnerability management, operations and response data found within ThreatConnect and other integrations. RQ is distinctly different from other approaches offered in the market as it focuses on automation and data integration, and delivers value in days and weeks as opposed to months and years.
With RQ 6.0 organizations that are looking at financial cyber risk quantification will have the option of leveraging full FAIR scenario’s, using semi-automated FAIR scenario’s, and full automation in one platform.
FAIR is an internationally known standard that has helped companies with awareness and understanding of cyber risk quantification. Organizations implementing FAIR in their CRQ programs have struggled with subjectivity, speed, and actionability, which is why RQ 6.0 is introducing semi-automated FAIR scenario’s that automate a large portion of FAIR in order to reduce complexity and increase time to value for customers.
Semi-Automated FAIR scenarios tackle one of the most challenging aspects of cyber risk quantification - calculating Loss Event Frequency and it’s piece parts. RQ combines data from inside the organization with its own models to evaluate attacker capability against defender strength. Applying this automated calculation to FAIR provides actionable, data-driven results within the FAIR framework and helps organizations transform their manual processes into the scalable, defensible needed to manage the complex risks they face.
“We’ve heard from customers, partners and the broader industry that solutions are needed to address the challenges in adopting and benefiting from CRQ programs,” said ThreatConnect Vice President of Cyber Risk Strategy Gerald Caponera. “Now, through the automation of part of FAIR, organizations can quickly adopt and advance their CRQ programs using their own data combined with ThreatConnect’s analytical capabilities.”
Using a risk-led approach to cybersecurity makes prioritization easy for security teams, enabling them to filter out noise and focus on what matters most. With CRQ, TIP and SOAR capabilities combined, ThreatConnect unifies the actions of the security team around the most critical risks, supports their response with streamlined and automated workflows and strengthens the entire security ecosystem through powerful technology integrations.
Additional details of the release are further outlined in a new blog and video available on the ThreatConnect web site. For more information – click here.

The Only AI Crypto Lead Prioritization Solution Built With Law Enforcement, for Law Enforcement: Elliptic Launches Pulse24.9.2026 16:15:00 EEST | Press release
Elliptic, the global leader in on-chain risk, today launched Pulse. Pulse puts crypto lead prioritization directly in the hands of every frontline law enforcement and government officer. Crypto now touches every part of law enforcement, from the patrol officer on the street to the detective assigned to investigate the case. Pulse gives each of them a quick, accurate financial summary and a starting point: whether that's a crypto address on a suspect's phone, in a scam ATM victim's receipt, uncovered during a vehicle or pocket search, or found at the scene of an overdose, an arrest, or a seizure. An officer can input anything that looks like a wallet address or transaction hash. Pulse identifies it, reasons over the result, and returns a summary in plain language, enough for the officer to decide on the spot whether the case needs escalation. If a case needs further investigation, one click sends the full analysis forward, not just the evidence. The criminal investigations division gets
SymphonyAI Introduces Symphony Risk Intelligence, an Agent-native Platform That Unlocks Always-on Compliance™ — the Catalyst for Transforming the Financial Crime Operating Model24.9.2026 16:04:00 EEST | Press release
SymphonyAI today introduced Symphony Risk Intelligence (SRI), an enterprise-grade, agent-native platform built to unlock Always-on Compliance™. This is a critical shift from periodic to continuous risk and compliance management, in which institutions continuously reassess risk and adapt controls as regulations, threats and business activity change, rather than waiting for the next scheduled review. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260924914614/en/ Current approaches have reached their structural limits. The FinCrime Frontier 2026–27 Report, released recently by SymphonyAI and AML Intelligence, finds just 4.7% of financial institutions continuously update their compliance monitoring and controls as risk changes, and 76.3% still review alerts manually or with only partial automation — barely changed year over year. Yet standing still isn't an option: the regulatory climate is at a major inflection point across ev
Just 4.7% of Financial Institutions Continuously Update Their Compliance Monitoring and Controls as Risk Changes, New Research Finds24.9.2026 16:04:00 EEST | Press release
SymphonyAI, a global leader in vertical AI product platforms, and AML Intelligence, the leading source of news and insight for the financial crime compliance community, today released the FinCrime Frontier 2026–27 Report, finding that most financial institutions still rely on periodic review cycles to manage financial crime risk, even as the threats and regulations they are meant to track continue to evolve dynamically. Based on the perspectives of more than 200 financial crime and compliance leaders, including senior leaders from major global financial institutions, the research finds that just 4.7% of financial institutions continuously update their compliance monitoring and controls as risk changes, while 56.8% have not adopted always-on compliance monitoring at all, are only exploring it, or remain at an early, pilot-stage level. The finding points to a structural gap: financial crime typologies, payment ecosystems and regulatory expectations are evolving continuously, while most c
