Information Risk Insights Study (IRIS)

Cyentia Institute

Cyber and cyber lossesSinistres et coûtsIrregularWorld

Quantitative research programme on information risk. Models the frequency and severity of cyber loss events from large claims databases, with particular care given to distributions and tails. A reference for anyone seeking usable parameters rather than averages.

Methodology

Statistical analysis of historical loss databases covering tens of thousands of events, with distribution fitting and tail-parameter estimation. Methodological rigour is high; access to the underlying datasets nonetheless remains restricted.

Recommended use

Use to parameterise a cyber loss model (frequency, severity, dependence) beyond market averages. Particularly suited to actuarial work and simulation modules.
