Overview
The top bar on Cye's Exposure Metrics Dashboard provides a quick, high-level view of your organization's cyber risk, exposure, and cybersecurity maturity. This article explains how these values are calculated and displayed.
You'll learn how to interpret the gauges, what data powers them, and how to adjust your targets.
Top Bar
The top bar includes interactive gauges for Exposure and Maturity, each comparing your organization's metrics to industry benchmarks and internal targets.
Exposure Gauge
Range: Shows minimum and maximum monetary exposure over one year:
Industry: Displays average exposure for your sector.
Target: Your organization's defined exposure goal. Click the edit icon to adjust:
If the Cost of Breach or Business Critical Assets (BCAs) have been manually edited, the gauge may not display. To fix this, revert to system-generated values.
Exposure = Likelihood × Cost of Breach
This is the monetary risk your organization faces if current vulnerabilities remain unresolved.
Maturity Gauge
Industry Maturity: Sector average for cybersecurity maturity.
Target Maturity: Your organization's defined goal. Click the edit icon to change.
If your target is set outside the displayable range, the indicator won't appear.
