Know where you stand: Kaspersky introduces Cyber Risk Heatmap for businesses

October 19, 2026

The free online evaluation tool helps organizations understand their cybersecurity posture, identify exposure across six key risk zones and prioritize next steps with actionable recommendations.

As the threat landscape continues to evolve, understanding where an organization is most exposed to risk is an important first step toward strengthening its defenses. Risk can emerge across the entire digital environment from employees and endpoints to workloads and incident management processes, making it challenging to know where to focus first.

The Cyber Risk Heatmap is a concise, questionnaire-based evaluation developed by Kaspersky. It takes approximately 10 minutes to complete and helps organizations identify potential cybersecurity risk areas and understand where their security efforts may require the most attention. The assessment covers six key areas:

  • Human and endpoints
  • Mail and network
  • Cloud and workloads
  • Attack surface
  • Monitoring and investigation
  • Incident management

Based on the answers provided, the tool generates a personalized cyber risk heatmap showing the potential level of risk across these areas, as well as an overall risk score. Organizations can also download a free personalized PDF report with their results, key findings and practical recommendations to help guide their next steps in cybersecurity.

The Heatmap is designed as a high-level evaluation tool rather than a technical audit. It does not replace penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, compromise assessments or detailed security audits. Instead, it helps organizations identify potential priorities.

“Stronger cybersecurity starts with knowing where to focus. Our Cyber Risk Heatmap helps organizations identify potential risks and set clear priorities, with personalized reports and practical recommendations tailored to their needs,” says Yana Shevchenko, Head of Corporate Product Marketing at Kaspersky.
