As a Bayesian Cyber Risk Quantification Scientist, I specialize in quantifying cybersecurity risks into measurable, data-driven insights using advanced Bayesian statistics and Bayesian Network modeling. By applying rigorous probabilistic analysis, I help organizations quantify cyber threats in financial terms, prioritize resource allocation, model return on control investments, and make strategic decisions within a complex threat landscape. With thirty years of experience in the financial industry, I bridge compliance and regulatory requirements with actionable, data-driven intelligence, enabling leadership to make higher-resolution decisions and maximize the impact of their investments.
