Additionally, as GPC has expanded their CRQ program, they have begun to utilize additional capabilities within ThreatConnect RQ, like integrating vulnerability scan data. This allows GPC to have a better understanding of which vulnerabilities are critical to them in terms of dollars and cents rather than relying on a CVE score.

Lastly, GPC has begun to incorporate CRQ into their third-party risk management process. With ThreatConnect’s integration with Security ScoreCard, GPC has been able to look at critical vendors from a more data-driven point of view rather than the typical qualitative – critical, high, medium, low – risk commonly used across enterprises today.

By employing ThreatConnect RQ, GPC can now prioritize security initiatives based on the financial impact of risks, ensuring budgets are allocated to projects offering the most significant reduction in financial risk. Ultimately, ThreatConnect empowered GPC to measure and communicate cyber risk, prioritize responses, justify budgets and spend allocation, and] make better informed investment decisions to manage their cybersecurity effectively
