Axio Launches Axio AIR to Bring Financial Quantification to AI and Agentic Risk


Axio Launches Axio AIR to Bring Financial Quantification to AI and Agentic Risk

Axio has announced the launch of Axio AIR, a new AI risk capability built on the Axio360 platform. Axio AIR quantifies AI and agentic risk in business terms, giving organizations a single, board-ready view of their AI exposure and a prioritized, framework-mapped path to reduce it.

Quick Intel

  • Axio AIR quantifies AI risk in dollars using loss exceedance curves.

  • Models AI risk at model, system, and portfolio level.

  • Maps exposure to NIST AI RMF, MITRE ATLAS, CSA RiskRubric, and COSO frameworks.

  • Provides 2/10/15-day reporting readiness aligned to EU AI Act Article 73.

  • Includes AI-specific tabletop exercises and incident runbooks.

  • Available as standalone or native integration for Axio360 clients.

Financial Quantification for AI Risk

Roughly 90% of enterprises have now deployed AI in some form, yet few have formal AI risk programs in place. Regulatory pressure is mounting alongside adoption: the EU AI Act's high-risk obligations carry penalties of up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue. Axio AIR extends Axio360's established risk quantification methodology to AI and agentic systems rather than introducing a new tool or workflow. Using a purpose-built scenario research engine and AI-specific loss exceedance curves, it models AI risk at the model, system, and portfolio level in dollars.

Three-Step Process

Organizations first model their AI and agentic risk scenarios and quantify exposure in dollars using the same methodology Axio360 applies to cyber risk. Axio AIR then maps that exposure to the specific AI systems, use cases, and business processes driving it, so teams know exactly where risk concentrates. Finally, it generates prioritized remediation activities for each scenario, mapped to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, MITRE ATLAS, the CSA RiskRubric, and COSO's GenAI control principles. The platform also builds in incident readiness and reporting support, including 2/10/15-day reporting readiness aligned to the EU AI Act's Article 73.

"AI adoption has outpaced every organization's ability to govern it responsibly," said Scott Kannry, CEO of Axio. "Boards don't just want to know that an AI policy exists — they want to know what their exposure actually costs them. Axio AIR gives them that answer, in the same financial language we've used to help organizations manage cyber risk for more than a decade. This isn't a new category for us. It's the natural extension of a discipline our clients already trust."

"We built Axio AIR the same way we built Axio360 — around the belief that risk isn't real to an organization until it's expressed in dollars," said Nicole Sundin, Chief Product Officer of Axio. "Every AI system an organization deploys introduces exposure that's hard to see and even harder to prioritize. Axio AIR gives risk and compliance teams a way to quantify that exposure, map it to the frameworks their regulators and auditors already expect, and act on it in minutes instead of months. Giving CISOs the information they need to say 'yes' to AI innovation."

About Axio

Axio360 is a market-leading cyber risk quantification (CRQ) platform that helps security and risk teams translate exposure into financial insight to drive more effective digital security decisions. The platform prioritizes investment around an organization's greatest financial exposures, models control and process improvements to determine the most effective investments, and can be scoped to AI risk, OT risk, supply chain risk, and more. Axio insights help organizations justify security investment with financial ROI, collaborate with the board in common terms, achieve better insurability, and use Axio scenarios as blueprints for incident-response planning.
