BorN (Beta of Ransomware)

BorN, or Beta of Ransomware, is a metric used to assess the risk posed by ransomware threats. It measures how susceptible a system or network is to being infected or compromised by ransomware attacks, similar to how a beta value indicates volatility in finance. A higher BorN suggests increased vulnerability, implying that attackers are more likely to succeed or that the potential impact of an attack is greater. Organizations use BorN to evaluate their exposure, prioritize security measures, and improve resilience against ransomware threats.
