Cyber Exposure Index

The Cyber Exposure Index (CEI), the company's research-driven project, is the world's first proprietary global scoring system that calculates the exposure index of listed companies based on exposed credentials, hacker-group activity and leaked sensitive information.[3] CEI is sort of a cyber risk score given to public companies listed on stock exchanges hosted in 11 countries (Australia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, South Africa, UK, USA, Malaysia and Singapore).[4] The CEI scores about 6,000 listed companies on their levels of exposure, after analysing data collected on each company from publicly available sources in the dark web and deep web, and published data breaches.[5] Companies evaluated are given a score ranging from 0 to 300+, with 0 indicating no exposure over the past 12 months and 300+ indicating that the company represent the top 10% most exposed companies globally.[6][7] The index was first launched in October 2017; the results concluded that the publicly listed companies in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore are least exposed to cyber threats.[8] In October 2018, the results were updated and Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia were earmarked as least exposed countries in the world.[4][5] This has also led to speculation that cyber threat exposure is very location centric. Asia Pacific firms tend to have lower exposure than their American or EU counterparts.[6] The CEI faced some negative press in South Africa, when it was ranked as 3rd most exposed country in October 2017. The South African Banking Risk Information Centre (SABRIC) speculated that the research findings may cause unnecessary fear, uncertainty and doubt.[9][10]

Hacked

Hacked is a cyber exposure monitoring app for individuals, launched in June 2018 by the company. The aim of this Android application is to alert people, whenever any sensitive information is compromised.[11] It provides free e-mail account monitoring. However, with a premium plan subscription, users can monitor credit cards, usernames, ID numbers, and physical addresses as well.
