Data are collected from public info published on both Clear and Dark Web.
The ESIX© (Estimated Severity Index) is calculated on cyber attacks’ impact based on available data and it's based on a set of proprietary algorithms that evaluate multiple variables, including social, economic (direct and indirect), technical and reputational impact.
For each attack we collect and classify, an ESIX® is calculated on a scale of one to ten, corresponding to four impact categories (Low, Medium, High and Critical): 1 = very low, 10= very critical.
