Portfolio Management · RED Scan

Know what’s exploitable across your whole book.

The RED Scan, short for Ransomware Exposure Detection, finds the vulnerabilities attackers are weaponizing right now, tests whether each one actually works against your insured, and reports only what’s real. It runs across every policyholder at once, with no credentials, no notifications and no policyholder lift.

In-term, book-wide

You bound the risk. What has changed since?

Underwriting tells you whether to write a policy. Once it’s on the book, the question changes: which insureds are carrying an exposure that could become a ransomware claim this quarter? RED answers that question for the whole portfolio.

Narrow by design

Only vulnerabilities on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, the ones with documented real-world attacks, plus the exposed services ransomware crews look for first.

Tested, not assumed

A human analyst actively tries each exploit, non-destructively, to confirm whether it works on that specific host.

Built for the book

Submit a list of policyholders and get validated results for each one. Scanning is outside-in and invisible to the insured.

ASKSWhich of our insureds have a door open that attackers are already walking through, and is it really open?

Two scans, two jobs

The Insight Engine casts a wide net. RED goes deep.

What RED reports

Two tracks. Independent, not redundant.

An insured can have exposed RDP with no known exploited vulnerability, or a known exploited vulnerability on a web server with no exposed remote access. Each track stands on its own, so neither is read as one long list.

Track 01 · Known exploited vulnerabilities

Software flaws on the CISA KEV catalog, each actively tested to see whether the exploit works against that host. Tests run only where the affected service is confirmed reachable, which keeps them grounded in real attack paths.

Track 02 · Exposed services

Services that are risky just by being reachable from the internet.

Remote access (SSH, RDP, Telnet, VPN): the most common way ransomware gets in.

Data services (FTP, SQL, storage): a direct path to a breach.

Directory services (LDAP, Active Directory): account enumeration and credential attacks.

Validated, not just flagged

When RED says exploitable, it’s exploitable.

An older software version can look alarming and still be safe because a backpatch or compensating control is doing its job. When the exploit is attempted and fails, RED marks the finding tested-cleared and reports it openly, so nobody chases a fix that isn’t needed and nobody misreads the insured’s real risk.

Illustration · a book-wide RED readout

Every policyholder on the list is scanned. A short list rises to the top: insureds with a confirmed exploitable flaw, then insureds with exposed remote access or data services, then findings that looked risky but tested clean.

The book at a glance

Prioritize by what’s proven, not what’s possible.

See which policyholders carry a confirmed exploitable flaw, which have exposed services, and which looked risky on paper but tested clean. Start with the short list that matters, and rescan to confirm what was fixed.

Insureds and findings in the illustration are examples.

Portfolio scale

Your whole book. No policyholder lift.

1 · Submit the book

Send your list of policyholders. Nothing to install and nobody to notify.

2 · Scan and test

Outside-in discovery, then analyst-run exploit tests on every known exploited finding.

3 · Validated results

Findings for each insured, split by track, with tested-cleared items clearly marked.

4 · Outreach and verify

Reach the insureds that need it with specific, verified fixes, run by your team or by CyRisk on your behalf. Then rescan to confirm what was fixed.

Deliberately scoped

What RED doesn’t do.

Not a full vulnerability report

It covers known exploited vulnerabilities, not every CVE. A clean RED result can sit alongside version-based findings from the Insight Engine.

Not an underwriting score

Use the Insight Engine to decide whether to write a risk. RED helps keep the risks you’ve written from becoming claims.

Not visible to the policyholder

No notifications and no disruption. Results come to you, and you decide what to share.

“Finally, we have visibility. A 10x in time savings for our workflow.”
