Founding Team Consists of Mahesh Ramanujam, Former President and CEO of the U.S. Green Building Council, Sarah Merricks, Former Chief of Staff at the U.S. Green Building Council, and Scot Horst, founding CEO of Arc Skoru.
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mahesh Ramanujam, former President and CEO of the U.S. Green Building Council, together with a veteran team of sustainability and ESG experts announce the launch of The Global Network for Zero (GNFZ). Recognizing that current efforts will not generate scalable climate solutions in time to avert a planetary calamity, GNFZ is an international collective of business and policy leaders devoted to the rapid realization of a zero emissions world. GNFZ’s founding members include Sarah Merricks, former Chief of Staff at the U.S. Green Building Council, and Scot Horst, Founding CEO of Arc Skoru — both known for their contributions to legacy sustainability and certification platforms, including the LEED green building program.
GNFZ builds upon the team’s long-standing reputation for using innovative technology to tackle compounding global crises and improve human health and well-being. With a history of business, digital, and green building acumen, GNFZ will harness the power of leading-edge technology to meet a growing sense of urgency and fulfill the network’s vision of lasting equitable and global living standards. In addition to developing best-in-class practices, resources, financing mechanisms and scalable policy frameworks, GNFZ is positioned to prioritize the expansion of ESG across sectors. GNFZ will lead a singular and comprehensive approach for realizing its vision by bringing together the most influential individuals and institutions in technology, finance, business, and organizational sustainability.
“The realization of a healthy, economically viable zero emissions planet is a moonshot, and we’re far past launch time. Climate change is the single largest existential threat to humanity. By collectively nurturing innovation and leveraging smart investments, the Global Network for Zero is laying the groundwork for a standard of living where everyone thrives,” says GNFZ Co-Founder, President, and CEO Mahesh Ramanujam. “Combining our decades of experience, vast networks, and proven track records for delivering on bold, ambitious strategies, Sarah, Scot and I are encouraging participation from anyone interested in building a better society for themselves and future generations. In fact, we’ve already engaged the best and brightest in sustainability, investment and finance, innovation and technology, government and policy, and construction, engineering and architecture — because that’s what will ultimately forge solutions, lead to universal reporting, provide an increase in returns for investors, and create a unified, actionable path to zero.”
The Global Network for Zero will focus on three pillars: investment, technology and policy. In addition to providing a full suite of resources, GNFZ will connect financiers with the most promising and profitable innovations for maximum sustained returns on investment and impact. GNFZ will develop solutions for eliminating market barriers to a zero emissions world, bridging technology gaps and enabling scalability. This includes but is not limited to pairing end-users with innovations to bridge the “valleys of death” between climate tech and cleantech innovation, maturation, commercialization, adoption and diffusion. On the policy front, the network will convene business and policymakers, create clarity around the term ‘zero,’ interpret the business implications of accelerating carbon reductions across various sectors in society, and assist in scaling implementation efforts.
“This is a network of shared ownership — which is a core value of any successful community or collaborative effort. As founding members, we want everyone to be stakeholders in a zero emissions future. We want to empower people and organizations to fulfill their ESG commitments, and to experience the improved quality of life that comes with creating and sustaining a healthy economy free of emissions,” says Sarah Merricks, GNFZ Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer. “This will take buy-in from the public and private sectors, both of which we have extensive experience collaborating with. Nothing like this has been brought to scale before, but the Global Network for Zero is fully committed to this mission.”
“Everyone can play a role in reducing emissions. Our key word is ‘inclusive’ and our goal is to expand the capacity for anyone to become involved. This network is for everyone,” says Scot Horst, Chair of GNFZ. “We are building a comprehensive method for anyone to use to improve our shared health while accurately measuring and tracking progress. A healthy environment, healthy people and a healthy economy go hand in hand when people are connected and know that their work makes a difference.”
With GNFZ engagement well underway, the organization is rapidly growing its reach by convening the public and private sectors, as well as building its capacity for knowledge-sharing and scaling implementation strategies for zero emissions.

ROSH HAAYIN, Israel & ANÁPOLIS, Brazil--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Brenmiller Energy, a global leader in thermal energy storage, announced today that it and Fortlev, the largest producer of water storage solutions in Brazil, have inaugurated a bGen Thermal Energy Storage (TES) unit at Fortlev’s production facility in Anápolis, Brazil.
The bGen unit is the first TES system powered by renewable energy to be used to generate hot air for manufacturing plastic products in the world and also the first thermal energy storage system powered by renewable energy to be used for commercial operations in South America.
The 1 MWh bGen unit enables Fortlev to use renewable biomass rather than natural gas to heat the air it uses to make plastic water tanks with rotational molding machines. Substituting biomass for natural gas allows Fortlev to lower the fuel costs associated with heating this air by more than 75%. Use of the bGen unit will also lower the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with heating this air by approximately 800 metric tons per year.
Fortlev and Brenmiller Energy are in discussions to install 60 bGen units at the facility, which will enable it to avoid 48,000 metric tons of GHG emissions per year – an amount equivalent to the GHG emissions released by approximately 10,500 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year.
“Fortlev is dedicated to delivering its customers high-quality, competitively priced water storage solutions while respecting the environment,” said Antonio Torres, Fortlev Solar CEO. “By helping Fortlev lower our fuel expenses and decarbonize one of our thermal manufacturing processes, Brenmiller Energy’s bGen technology is helping us realize this goal and do well while doing good.”
Having demonstrated the financial and environmental success of bGen’s TES technology, over the next few years Fortlev might not just expand its use of bGen at its Anápolis production facility, but also at its seven other manufacturing facilities in Brazil.
In addition, Fortlev Solar, as a partner of Brenmiller Energy in Brazil, is intending to open a manufacturing factory to produce bGen units for the Brazilian market.
Storing Renewable Energy as Heat to Produce Steam, Hot Water, and Hot Air
Many industrial companies have found it difficult to economically decarbonize plastic roto-molding, food preparation, chemical production, pulp and paper manufacturing, and other thermal processes that require the production or use of steam, hot water or hot air. For example, battery-based energy storage technologies do not efficiently store renewable energy for hours to days at a time, nor do they efficiently convert this energy on-demand into the heat needed to produce steam, hot water, or hot air.
By combining thermal storage, heat exchange, and steam generation together in a single solution, Brenmiller Energy’s bGen technology can provide industrial companies with the energy efficiency, output stability, scalability, and other capabilities they need to cost-competitively decarbonize their thermal processes. Brenmiller Energy’s technology is also flexible, enabling companies to use both electricity (from solar panels, wind turbines, and the grid) and thermal sources of energy (biomass, flue gas, recovered heat) to charge the bGen units.
The crushed rocks in the bGen units can efficiently store this energy as heat for minutes, hours, or even days. Then, when companies need it, they can use this heat to produce clean steam, hot water, or hot air on-demand to mold plastic, clean food, dry wood, or complete other industrial processes.
“Forward-thinking industrial companies like Fortlev want to decarbonize their thermal processes. But until recently, there have been few, if any, reliable, cost-effective, long-lived solutions that allow them to do so,” said Avi Brenmiller, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Brenmiller Energy. “Our bGen technology enables these companies to start using renewable energy resources and waste heat to efficiently produce clean steam, hot water, and hot air on-demand, allowing them to decarbonize their thermal process – and in some cases, like Fortlev, reduce their fuel costs while doing so.”
The installation of the bGen unit at Fortlev manufacturing facility was supported by the Israel Innovation Authority and the Brazilian Agency for Industrial Research and Innovation (EMBRAPII).
“It is inspiring to see this binational cooperation, where an innovative Israeli company implemented its groundbreaking technology in a factory of a large Brazilian company,” said Daniel Zonshine, Ambassador of Israel in Brazil. “This partnership has great potential in the Brazilian energy storage market and beyond.''
A Way to Decarbonize a Wide Variety of Thermal Processes
In addition to generating hot air to mold plastic, Brenmiller Energy’s bGen thermal energy storage technology can be used to decarbonize a wide variety of other industrial and power generation thermal processes that currently use fossil fuels to generate heat.
Brenmiller is working with Philip Morris International (Romania), Enel (Italy), and other industrial and utility customers to use its TES technology to decarbonize a diverse range of such processes around the world.
About Fortlev
Fortlev is the biggest manufacturer of water tanks, pipes, and water connections in Brazil. Fortlev is the benchmark in water storage solutions all over Brazil.
Since 1989, Fortlev has specialized in bringing quality to its customers. And, for that, innovation is required. Today Fortlev has one of the most modern pipes and fitting industrial parks in the country. In water tanks, Fortlev is always one step ahead, seeking bold solutions for consumers.
About Fortlev Solar
Fortlev Solar is a distributor of photovoltaic products from the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. The company’s goal is to maintain a sustainable future, saving costs on the electricity bill and marketing quality products, delivered with agility and safety anywhere in Brazil. In the past two years Fortlev Solar has become the biggest distributor of Solar Solutions in Brazil.
About Brenmiller Energy
Brenmiller Energy delivers scalable thermal energy storage solutions and services that allow customers to cost-effectively decarbonize their operations. Its patented bGen thermal storage technology enables the use of renewable energy resources, as well as waste heat, to intelligently heat crushed rocks to very high temperatures. They can then store this heat for minutes, hours, or even days before using it for industrial and power generation processes. With bGen organizations have a way to use electricity, biomass, and waste heat to generate the steam, hot water and hot air they need to mold plastic, process food and beverages, produce paper, manufacture chemicals and pharmaceuticals, or drive steam turbines without burning fossil fuels.

Embedded in o9’s Integrated Business Planning Platform, the First-of-Its-Kind Offering Helps Enterprises Improve the Environmental and Social Impact Performance of Their Global Supply Chains
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--o9 Solutions, a leading enterprise AI software platform provider for transforming planning and decision-making, today announced the launch of a broad and deep set of sustainability solutions that are embedded in its integrated business planning platform, including product and enterprise environmental footprint measurement, full traceability, ESG risk management, ESG-enabled business planning, sustainable sourcing and supply chain circularity.
The first offering of its kind in the supply chain software space, o9’s new sustainability solutions help organizations improve the environmental and social impact KPIs of their supply chains. Companies that operate some of the largest and most complex global supply chains can now not only measure and report on their sustainability performance, but can also make planning decisions to reduce their carbon footprint and make meaningful progress toward net-zero goals. The o9 sustainability solutions incorporate international standards-based sustainability metrics, analytics and KPIs into the AI-enabled o9 Digital Brain platform, powered by its patented Enterprise Knowledge Graph technology for best-in-class supply chain modeling. Integrating full-spectrum sustainability data into the o9 platform gives companies the ability to assess their sustainability performance within all planning and operational activities, as well as the ability to identify and make data-driven decisions around tradeoffs between financial costs, service levels and ESG objectives.
“A significant portion of a company’s environmental and social impact stems from its supply chain activities,” said Stanton Thomas, Senior Vice President of Sustainability, o9 Solutions. “While there is a growing number of sustainability-focused software and consulting companies entering the market, sustainability initiatives are currently managed outside of core enterprise and supply chain planning systems. With our new sustainability solutions embedded in the o9 platform, we are uniquely positioned to combine our powerful value chain modeling technology with a complete data management capability for acquiring, validating, cleansing and harmonizing ESG data from diverse structured and unstructured sources. Expanding our product portfolio to include capabilities for tracking and managing ESG metrics and KPIs marks an important milestone in o9’s product evolution, and we are excited to help our clients meet their toughest sustainable supply chain challenges.”
Throughout the last year, o9 completed several sustainability solution proof of concepts with clients across a wide range of industries, as well as initiated the co-development of a new CO2 emissions tracking capability with a leading manufacturer. The launch of o9’s new sustainability solutions arrives at a pivotal point in time with companies facing mounting pressure from their stakeholders to reduce their negative environmental and social impacts, as well as recent regulatory actions in Europe, Asia and the U.S. that could result in barriers to key markets or significant fines if violated.

The NineDot site, including the first Tesla Megapack system deployed in New York City, is a model for urban clean energy projects
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NineDot Energy®, a leading developer of community-scale clean energy projects backed by global investment firm Carlyle, today unveiled its first battery energy storage site in the Bronx, New York City. With a 3.08 MW (megawatts)/12.32 MWh (megawatt-hours) Tesla Megapack system, a solar canopy, and infrastructure ready for bi-directional electric vehicle chargers, this NineDot Energy site is a model for how to develop future urban clean energy projects. Combined with the large NineDot Energy pipeline, this project also supports the company’s goal of delivering 400 MW of clean energy systems by 2026 that strengthen the local power grid and provide stable, reliable and resilient power to tens of thousands of New York City households and businesses.
“We are excited to formally cut the ribbon on our ‘Gunther’ Bronx battery energy storage site,” said David Arfin, NineDot Energy CEO and Co-founder. “Building battery storage sites in a dense urban environment requires an unusual set of skills and experience all brought together in NineDot Energy, as well as support from a wide range of visionary regulators and policy-makers and a terrific group of dedicated partners who we are thanking today.”
Doreen M. Harris, President and CEO, NYSERDA, said, “NYSERDA is proud to partner with companies like NineDot Energy that are committed to investing in energy storage projects that allow us to better integrate clean, renewable resources more efficiently. Once completed, this energy storage system will help to reduce electricity use from some of the dirtiest power plants in the Bronx during hot summer days and will serve as a model for how to advance similar projects in congested urban environments.”
“This project is special because it combines multiple technologies that will contribute to a clean energy future and make our region a leader in the fight against climate change,” said Vicki Kuo, Senior Vice President, Customer Energy Solutions, at Con Edison. “The ability of companies like NineDot to innovate, along with the commitment of Con Edison, our customers and other parties, will ensure that our State and City meet their environmental goals.”
NineDot Energy builds its battery storage sites in areas that sit at the intersection of existing infrastructure and high energy demand. “Taking a barely-used sliver of land in the Bronx, NineDot Energy created a breakthrough clean-energy site for this community,” said Adam Cohen, NineDot Energy Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder. “Finding the right sites requires a deep understanding of grid design and regulation along with extensive project-finance and decision-science skills, and we believe NineDot uniquely brings together all these capabilities in one innovative company.”
“There is a large and growing investment opportunity to support a more resilient electric grid while reducing carbon emissions,” said Pooja Goyal, Chief Investment Officer of Carlyle’s Infrastructure Group. “With the launch of the ‘Gunther’ Bronx battery energy storage site, our shared vision with the NineDot team has started to become a reality for New York City residents and businesses as we continue to support New York State’s mission to achieve its goal of 100% clean energy by 2040.”
With battery storage, the Gunther site not only makes the local grid more robust, but also integrates more clean energy into the grid during times of peak demand.
NineDot Energy is grateful for the support of many vendors, agencies and financial partners in bringing this project to completion, including the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), the New York Public Service Commission, Con Edison (NYSE: ED), the City of New York, the NYU Urban Future Lab, Endurant, Stem (NYSE:STEM), Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Carlyle (NASDAQ:CG).

Volta attracts larger digital media budgets with expanded measurement, programmatic buying, and data-driven targeting capabilities for advertisers
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Volta Inc. (NYSE: VLTA) (“Volta”), an industry-leading electric vehicle ("EV") charging and media company, announced today that the Volta Media™ Network has exceeded one billion monthly impressions in the United States.1 This milestone comes less than nine months after Volta formally launched its media network with 618 million monthly impressions. Volta’s ability to nearly double its reach represents the company’s commitment to expanding its dual EV charging and media network for the benefit of drivers, advertisers, commercial properties, shareholders, and ultimately the planet as it supports mainstream adoption of clean, carbon-free transportation.
Volta Media Network’s increased reach is the result of additional media-enabled EV charging stations installed at locations visited by millions of Americans daily, such as Cinemark Theatres, Giant Food, Kohl’s, Stop & Shop, and Tanger Outlets. Volta locates its EV charging stations steps from the front entrances of popular commercial properties to improve convenience for drivers and maximize the number of shoppers influenced by Volta’s digital media screens. As a result of these strategic placements, the Volta Media Network reaches highly valuable consumers moments before they purchase a product or service, allowing Volta campaigns to create awareness and drive measurable sales in support of advertisers’ increasing focus on retail media campaigns. Advertisers can also target specific segments of Volta’s audience, which over-indexes on high household incomes, propensity to purchase, and desire for premium goods and services compared to the general American population.2
Volta’s media network is the world’s largest digital out-of-home (DOOH) network integrated directly into EV charging stations that support the transition to electric mobility. Every campaign featured across Volta’s network of more than 4,600 large-format digital screens directly supports charging sessions providing electric miles to drivers. To date, Volta has provided more than 124 million electric miles and avoided over 30,000 tons of CO2 emissions that would have otherwise been created by gas-powered vehicles.3
“Volta’s ability to speak to our audience while they are in the shopping mindset with unique, high-impact messages is highly valuable to our business,” said Michelle Leo, VP Marketing at Citizen Watch Group. “Working with Volta also aligns with our brand's sustainability commitments as we're directly supporting the transition to carbon-free electric transportation.”
Volta further distinguishes itself by offering advertisers a suite of measurement capabilities enabled by collaborations with industry-leading measurement companies. These relationships allow Volta to report on the same full-funnel impact marketers have come to expect from the most notable digital advertising platforms. This includes performance metrics like sales lift and incremental return on ad spend (ROAS)—a new frontier for the DOOH industry. Volta’s ability to meaningfully drive bottom-of-the-funnel results was best demonstrated through two recent campaigns. Working with a leading shopper intelligence platform, Catalina, Volta revealed its ability to deliver an 8 percent sales lift for Dole’s products and increase category share for the brand by 8.5 percent. In a separate campaign for Coca-Cola, Volta, and digital media and promotions technology company Quotient, measured $2.51 million in attributable sales and a ROAS 56 percent higher than average.4
“Catalina continues to be an essential and trusted partner for a variety of our business needs, and we are impressed by what they and Volta deliver together. The concise and point-blank delivery of data to spotlight sales conversions and buyer response further simplified the out of home metrics and underscored the value Volta Media provides,” said Kellee Miller, Director of Shopper Marketing at Dole Food Company, Inc.
Volta’s measurement capabilities are fortified by additional attribution capabilities that include footfall, web, mobile, and sales through collaborations with industry-leading organizations like Accretive Media, Foursquare, Reveal Mobile, Quorum, PlaceIQ, and more. Volta’s impact on brand awareness and consideration metrics is measured by third-party research studies with esteemed firms like the F’inn Group.
Volta has also invested in supporting flexible buying options for advertisers—100 percent of Volta’s media inventory is available programmatically. Brands and their agencies can target Volta’s contextually relevant media screens through every major demand-side platform (DSP), making the process of integrating Volta inventory into any campaign easy and seamless. Volta offers both reserved and unreserved access in support of both open and private programmatic auctions, empowering media buyers with the flexibility to access Volta’s inventory in the way that best fits their needs.
“The Volta Media Network creates tremendous value for our advertising partners and commercial properties, both in terms of business and sustainability impact,” said Brandt Hastings, Chief Commercial Officer at Volta. “Our unique media model powers our business, and we continue to scale and push the boundaries of innovation for the benefit of our advertisers, real estate partners, drivers, and the environment.”

• OPM Production Planning can help to ensure secure, stable power while maximizing margins and managing risk with accurate capacity predictions and decision support
• Software also helps Ignitis Gamyba to automate data transmission for more optimal planning of natural gas procurement and process organization
SAN RAMON, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#energy--GE Digital today announced that Ignitis Gamyba, the largest power producer in Lithuania, has chosen to implement OPM Production Planning an Operations Performance Management solution. GE Digital’s OPM Production Planning solution minimizes uncertainty to ensure reliability of power generation to meet demand, lower the generation costs and improve profitability. The software is designed to provide accurate forecasting of maximum unit power, fuel nomination, and the automation of data transmission for day-ahead operation planning and electricity trading.
Offering real-time insights into plant or fleet power generation potential, OPM Production Planning helps traders, dispatch planners, asset and plant managers understand the day-ahead and intraday plant capacity, and how to make the most profitable use of that capacity through commitment preparation, fuel nomination and dispatch planning. Better economic-based decisions can be made regarding plant offers and dispatch with solution-supported operational insights into factors such as the available capacity – its value and cost – in conjunction with a range of plant specific constraints, such as marketplace conditions, emissions limits, fuel penalties, start-up and turndown durations and cost.
Ignitis Gamyba’s objectives for forecasting include reducing the probability of imbalance, maximizing the efficiency of the unit, and expanding electricity sales, all with the mission to ensure secure and stable power in the region. The company is also looking to reduce potential losses due to imbalances, with no corrective action required to adjust the amount of power and the power schedule. By implementing OPM Production Planning, automating data transmission will reduce the potential for human error and data exchange errors between operational staff and trade staff. It will also provide more optimal planning of natural gas procurement and organization of the day-ahead process.
“OPM Production Planning contributes to the possibility of making the most efficient use of the production capacity of the combined cycle unit for commercial electricity generation,” said Rimgaudas Kalvaitis, CEO of Ignitis Gamyba. “The software is a functional product that allows us to ensure optimal forecasting of unit power and the exchange of information between responsible employees. This creates benefits for the company, shareholders, and the country of Lithuania as a whole.”

● After investing in Heirloom earlier this year, Microsoft has deepened its commitment to Heirloom by signing a deal to purchase its carbon removal credits. The initial deal will see Microsoft purchase credits for delivery by 2025, with plans to pursue future purchases as Heirloom's technology rolls out.
● Long-term commitments to purchasing high-quality carbon removals are vital to scaling direct air capture technology and early-adopters like Microsoft will catalyze the supply of high-quality carbon removal solutions.
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, a deal has been signed for Heirloom to provide Microsoft with permanent carbon removal for delivery through 2025. The companies have also agreed to explore the ongoing provision of carbon removal credits with the expansion of Heirloom’s facility deployments over the coming years. This comes after Microsoft Climate Innovation Fund’s investment in Heirloom’s Series A which closed in Q1 2022 – emphasizing Microsoft’s ongoing conviction in both Heirloom’s technology and ability to scale.
“Our deal with Heirloom is an important part of Microsoft’s commitment to permanent, durable carbon removal,” said Rafael Broze, carbon removal program manager at Microsoft. “The purchase of carbon removal credits will be an important catalyst to the growth and development of the Direct Air Capture industry.”
Heirloom is building Direct Air Capture facilities that permanently and cost-effectively remove CO2 from the atmosphere, with a real path towards removing 1b tonnes of CO2 per year by 2035. Their technology rapidly accelerates the natural ability of minerals to absorb CO2 from the air from a timespan of decades to days. Heirloom’s carbon removal credits are some of the most additional and durable methods of carbon dioxide removal that exist today: once removed from the atmosphere, the CO2 is stored safely and permanently underground for over a thousand years.
“Microsoft has been a worldwide leader in sustainability and we’re very excited to add them as a customer,” said Shashank Samala, CEO of Heirloom Carbon. “Their patronage and investment will fuel the scale of our technology and our ability to help the world meet its climate goals.”
To limit global warming to 1.5°C by the end of 2100 and avoid irreversible climate damage, carbon dioxide removal technologies like Direct Air Capture are an urgent necessity. The world has already warmed by 1.2 ˚C, which leaves a vanishingly small carbon budget to work with. For even the most aggressive emissions reduction projections, we’ll still need to remove 6-10 gigatons of CO2 per year by 2050 to stick to a 1.5˚C warming pathway. That’s equivalent to stopping all emissions and removing around 10-20% of global emissions annually. Direct Air Capture, of which Heirloom is one of the pioneers, will be vital to preventing the worst impacts of climate change.

ANNAPOLIS, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#cyberinsurance--The majority of companies across the U.S. oil and gas industry are at risk of a successful cyber breach according to BreachBits, a cyber risk rating and monitoring company that evaluates and tests organizations from a hacker’s perspective to empower them to anticipate attacks. Following an analysis of 98 representative upstream, midstream, downstream and supply chain companies across the energy sector, BreachBits has released their findings in BreachRisk: Energy 2022, a cyber state of the industry study.
“On average, the oil and gas companies we observed were at Medium Risk, with a score of 4.1 out of ten on our BreachRisk™ scale, but that risk was not distributed evenly across the sector,” said BreachBits CEO and Co-Founder John Lundgren. “Additionally, 11% of the companies presented potentially serious, High Risk threats. We identify and monitor cyber risks at scale as we did here, detect issues and then test them just as a hacker would for our customers.”
The study by BreachBits ranked 59% of companies at Medium Risk for a cyber breach, 13% at Low Risk and 28% at Very Low Risk. Other key observations included:
BreachBits, founded by U.S. military cyber warfare veterans, measures an organization’s BreachRisk as the likelihood of a successful breach against the potential impact to the subject.
“We measure cyber risk based on actual threats and viable attack vectors, not hypothetical ones, and we do that from the hacker’s perspective. That means the risks we identified in this study are the same observations being made by active cyber attackers,” said BreachBits COO and Co-Founder J. Foster Davis. “What’s different is that we’ve taken those complex assessments and translated them into an easy to understand cyber risk score that everyone from the boardroom to the server room can use to better understand, measure and communicate risk.”
Whether an organization needs to assess their own risk or that of a client, partner, portfolio or supply chain, the BreachRisk methodology by BreachBits provides a new standard to benchmark exposure to cyber attackers, track risk mitigation efforts, make informed decisions and shape the next era of cyber insurance. The full BreachRisk: Energy 2022 study is available for download at: www.breachbits.com/breachrisk-energy-2022

Led by a team of cyber warfare veterans and multi-disciplined professionals, we help defenders predict cyber attacks before they happen and communicate threats to key stakeholders.
