Provide basic parameters about the facility — Xylo will calibrate financial exposure ranges to your specific scale and criticality.
Step 02 — Infrastructure Map
Map your critical systems
Select the infrastructure components present in scope. Xylo uses this to model cascading failure paths and dependency exposure.
📡 Live Dependency Topology
Click nodes to mark components at risk. Red nodes indicate single points of failure with no redundant path.

Step 03 — Failure Scenario
Select a catastrophic scenario
Choose the failure scenario to model. These are real-world DC failure modes with documented financial impact patterns.
● TIER-1 THREAT
⚡ Power Cascade Failure
Simultaneous UPS and generator failure during grid outage. Complete loss of facility power with no redundant path. Cooling fails within minutes.
Duration: 4–72 hrs
Freq: 1-in-25yr
● TIER-1 THREAT
❄️ Thermal Runaway / Cooling Loss
CRAC unit failure in summer peak. Inlet temperatures breach 35°C. Servers begin thermal throttling then emergency shutdown. Risk of hardware damage.
Duration: 2–48 hrs
Freq: 1-in-10yr
● TIER-1 THREAT
🔒 Ransomware — Full DC Encryption
Ransomware propagates from a management VLAN. Encrypts hypervisors, SAN, and backup targets. No clean recovery point available within RPO.
Duration: 7–30 days
Freq: 1-in-5yr
● TIER-2 THREAT
🔥 Fire Suppression Discharge
Accidental or triggered suppression discharge in active hall. Equipment survives but facility goes offline for inspection and reinstatement.
Duration: 12–96 hrs
Freq: 1-in-15yr
● TIER-2 THREAT
🌐 All-Carrier Connectivity Loss
Fibre cut or carrier network failure severs all inbound connectivity. Facility is operationally live but dark — customers and services unreachable.
Duration: 6–72 hrs
Freq: 1-in-8yr
● TIER-3 THREAT
🕵️ Physical Intrusion / Theft
Tailgating breach or insider threat. Servers or storage media removed. Regulatory notification, forensic investigation, and customer notification required.
Duration: 5–21 days
Freq: 1-in-20yr
Step 04 — Insurance Coverage
Current policy structure
Input your existing coverage. Xylo will map each policy against the selected scenario to surface gaps.
