Attack Cost is built on peer-reviewed industry data and security research. Every cost component is sourced from academic studies, government benchmarks, or publicly reported breach data.
The Attack Cost Calculator models five categories of financial impact: employee productivity loss, revenue disruption, incident response & recovery costs, reputational damage, and market capitalization impact. Each category uses conservative base assumptions derived from publicly available data, which users can adjust to match their organization’s profile.
When a stock ticker is entered, the calculator pulls real-time data from Yahoo Finance (employee count, annual revenue, market capitalization) and median employee compensation from SEC DEF 14A proxy filings to populate accurate starting values for that specific company.
Important disclaimer: This calculator models direct and indirect costs of an identity system breach. All figures are estimates based on industry research and should be considered illustrative.
