Forecast

Forecast translates cyber risk into dollars. Automatically calculate equipment replacement costs, production downtime losses, energy impact, and regulatory exposure — with minimal manual input.

Features​

Risk Overview​

  • Total financial exposure across all devices
  • Risk distribution by severity tier (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
  • Top risks by device with drill-down detail

Device Exposure​

  • Per-device financial risk breakdown:
    • Equipment cost — replacement cost from catalog data
    • Downtime cost — production loss based on industry benchmarks
    • Energy cost — calculated from HP rating × load factor × local utility rate
    • CVE count — vulnerability exposure from Lookout
    • Lead time — supply chain delay risk
  • Risk-adjusted total exposure per device

Scenario Calculator​

  • Build custom "what if" scenarios:
    • Select equipment items with costs
    • Set downtime hours and production rate ($/hr)
    • Enter total horsepower for energy calculations
    • Toggle regulatory frameworks (OSHA, EPA, NERC-CIP, FDA)
  • Visual breakdown chart showing cost components
  • Export scenario reports

Cost Catalog​

  • 46 equipment cost entries — PLCs, VFDs, motors, SCADA servers, HMIs
  • 51 state industrial energy rates from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
  • 23 industry benchmarks — production rates, downtime estimates, regulatory penalties

How It Works​

Forecast's core innovation: auto-calculation from equipment specs.

Risk($) = Probability(exploit) × Impact(downtime) × Cost($/hour)
  • HP rating × load factor × hours × local rate = energy cost
  • Equipment costs from public distributor data
  • Production rates from Census/industry benchmarks with smart defaults
  • Deploy a Collector, wait 24 hours, hand them a Forecast report they never asked for

State Energy Rates​

Forecast includes industrial electricity rates for all 50 states + DC, sourced from the EIA. Select your state in the toolbar to see local rates applied to all calculations.
