Publication number: 20230132818Abstract: Risk element information indicating risk elements is acquired. An asset capable of becoming a fault due to a risk element indicated in the risk element information, and a fault probability that the asset becomes the fault are specified based on static configuration information. A risk model in which the asset capable of becoming the fault and the fault probability are associated is generated in advance. In response to a designated input, an one asset to be evaluated is specified as an evaluation target asset, based on the designated input. A risk model related to the evaluation target asset is specified. A risk evaluation value being an index indicating a risk of the evaluation target asset is calculated based on the fault probability of the evaluation target asset and the static configuration information. The risk evaluation value of the evaluation target asset is associated with the asset of the risk model.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2022Publication date: May 4, 2023Inventors: Hiroaki SHIKANO, Hiroki MIYAMOTO, Hideya YOSHIUCHI
