Brief description of the product
Give a brief description of the product containing general information, overview of functions.

CyberWISER Light is the non-intrusive mode of the WISER Framework (the client does not need to install any dedicated software on its infrastructure). It is the first outcome offered by WISER generating a first estimation of the situation of an IT infrastructure with respect to cyber risk. It provides a quick and simple assessment of cyber risk thanks to information regarding the company which is collected in a questionnaire. The user is also given the chance to easily detect vulnerabilities present at the client IT infrastructure and capable of escalating to intrusion into externally exposed resources. The tool is not intrusive and provides immediate feedback. The output is a report easy to understand, especially to top management positions, highlighting the main points to be improved as far as the client´s cybersecurity is concerned.
