Meet the Explain My Risk agent

See exactly where your cyber risk value comes from, and the actions that move it.

Bob Vescio, Chief Innovation Officer of X-Analytics, walks through an agent in the X-Analytics AI Toolbox: the Explain My Cyber Risk agent.

The Explain My Cyber Risk agent is an AI agent in the X-Analytics AI Toolbox that breaks your total cyber risk value into key loss categories, defines each one in clear language, and traces the value back to the profile elements driving it.

You pick the loss category you want to understand: data breach, business interruption, misappropriation, or ransomware. The agent returns the full explanation in minutes, with the direct, indirect, and opportunity costs behind the number, the top scenarios pushing it, and the actions that bring it down.

You start from your cyber risk value on the X-Analytics dashboard. From there, the agent:

• Divides the total into loss categories so you can choose which one to explore.
• Defines that exposure category in plain language and confirms the value.
• Splits the value into direct, indirect, and opportunity costs (customer churn, new business loss, brand and reputation erosion all included).
• Shows the cyber risk trend over time, plus control effectiveness for that category.
• Names the top risk scenarios driving the value, with cumulative percentages.
• Surfaces back-end variable updates so you see the macroeconomic shifts moving the number.
• Traces every profile element tied to the exposure: industry, operating regions, record volume, record types, threats.

• A defensible explanation of your cyber risk value for the loss category you chose.
• Recommendations targeted to reduce that specific exposure.
• X-Analytics actions: pragmatic, tactical steps harmonized across every framework in your profile (NIST CSF, CIS CSC, CRI, and more).
• A clear path to dig into the next loss category whenever you're ready.

What is cyber exposure in X-Analytics?

Cyber exposure is the sum of all possible losses in a category, each multiplied by the probability of that loss occurring. The Explain My Cyber Risk agent walks you through that value with full traceability back to your profile.
