Consortium Acquires Metrics That Matter to Revolutionize Cybersecurity Decision Making

Consortium has made a game-changing acquisition by obtaining Metrics That Matter® (MTM®) to introduce the first Next Generation Value-Added Reseller (VAR) in the cybersecurity industry. This innovative approach aims to optimize security investments, guarantee continuous risk reduction, and eliminate unnecessary spending. 

Traditional VARs have faced challenges in adapting to the evolving cybersecurity landscape, and the Metrics That Matter platform will be instrumental in the Next Generation Value-Added Reseller strategy. 

The acquisition is backed by research from MTM®, indicating that cyber risk now surpasses 13 percent of annual revenue for companies with revenue ranging from $1 billion to $50 billion, with the figure rising to 16 percent for organizations generating $1 billion to $5 billion. Despite deploying over 100 security tools on average, numerous enterprises are still vulnerable to ransomware, data breaches, and operational disruptions due to the inability to validate which controls effectively mitigate risk.

The acquisition is poised to revolutionize cybersecurity procurement, risk management, and cost optimization, breaking the traditional reactive cycle in the industry by embedding continuous risk measurement into decision-making. The combined expertise of Metrics That Matter and Consortium is expected to provide organizations with smarter, data-driven security investments that yield tangible business impact, ultimately resetting the standard for cybersecurity decision-making.
