Cyber-Risk Quantification (FAIR-style ALE)

What is this agent's annualized loss exposure — in dollars?

Every other AgentSmack meta-lens emits a technical verdict — a kill-chain, an exploitability rating, a blast-radius band, an adversary-ROI score. NONE translate the findings into the one artifact an enterprise buyer puts in a budget request: a FAIR-style Annualized-Loss-Expectancy — Loss-Event-Frequency × Loss-Magnitude ⇒ a bounded USD range. This is that translation layer. It consumes the same cross-surface findings envelope every scan emits, inherits severity verbatim from the remediation generator and frequency from the exploitability rating (it re-authors no severity or exploitability table), and folds them into a closed, integer-only annualized-loss-exposure score. A single critical hard blocker floors the exposure at high; a confirmed end-to-end kill-chain floors it at critical — an adversary cannot launder a real critical down by adding clean surfaces, and a pile of low findings cannot inflate into a fabricated critical. And it is honestly humble: the dollar figure is always a bounded range band (scaled by your org-size profile), never a false-precise number. It adds no new surface and no new scorecard dimension.

Annualized cyber-risk exposure critical (100/100): 4 failed finding(s), 3 critical, 4 on a confirmed chain ⇒ loss-event frequency frequent × loss magnitude catastrophic = an estimated annualized loss exposure of $1M–$10M+ (midmarket profile, reported as a bounded range — never a false-precise figure). A confirmed end-to-end kill-chain floors the exposure at critical (causally amplified frequency).

Benign sample — an all-clean run (zero ALE, no fabricated dollar)

Annualized cyber-risk exposure (FAIR-style ALE)

No exposure

Honest-empty — no failed findings to quantify. There is no annualized loss exposure to report, and we never fabricate a dollar figure.

Honest-empty — no failed findings to quantify; there is no annualized loss exposure to report (no fabricated dollar figure).
