An update from our KTP team on their ongoing research project, developing an AI powered Cyber Assessment Framework.
We are all aware of the cyber risks that are approaching faster than ever and with so much information out there it’s hard to gauge what’s actually needed for your business. That’s where CAFAI steps in. By integrating the approach taken by the National Cyber Security Centre’s Cyber Assessment Framework the benchmark for resilient cybersecurity with deep insight and big data, it gives organisations a structured, interactive, and personalised view of the risks they face and the actions that truly matter.
In case you missed it: Last year we announced a groundbreaking research partnership with Aston University to develop our award winning Cybersecurity Assessment Framework into an AI model.
Imagine a CISO right at your fingertips!
Being built in partnership with Aston University, Innovate UK, and Intercity, this AI-driven innovation is engineered to push digital resilience further than ever before.
What’s so important about this?
According to the GOV UK Department for business and trade 99% of all private sector business were small businesses (0-49 employees) at the start of 2024. Smaller organisations often juggle security alongside everything else and often lack access to specialist advice. This means that that they either implement security measures that they do not need and cannot afford or fail to implement any effective security at all. CAFAI is intended to fill that gap and offer any company or organisation access to deeply informed security expertise creating a more safe and secure environment for all.
The CAFAI model takes a holistic approach to cyber risk, enabling organisations to carry out online assessments and be guided towards the solutions that are right for them. Using a purpose-built proprietary Large Language Model, the CAFAI will help all businesses, large and small, translates technical jargon into everyday language, providing business leaders with a clear view of the risks they face, and the protections required to stay secure.
It’s like a guided tour that takes you to where you want to be!
How is it being trained?
CAFAI isn’t learning in a vacuum. It’s being trained on the richest threat context available. On top of that, it’s powered by Intercity’s 40 years of hard-earned experience defending UK businesses. The result? A model shaped by both global intelligence and real-world lessons, giving organisations a sharper, more practical way to understand and manage cyber risk.
By enabling business leaders across all industries to access CAFAI, it will not only free up your time but also your money all while knowing you are getting the best tailored cyber risk assessment.
