Cybersecurity as a Material Financial Risk
Cybersecurity has become a material financial risk affecting enterprise value, shareholder confidence, and market stability. While organizations disclose cyber incidents under applicable regulations, investors lack an independent, standardized method to compare cyber risk across companies and sectors.
GICTI is proposed as a collaborative forum to explore whether independent cyber risk metrics can complement existing corporate disclosures and support investor education.
