Abstract: A meritocracy based smart workforce management platform which ensures ready supply of human resource compliant of project-specific competencies, along with industry-, regulatory-, corporate-defined-, or a combination thereof requirements besides appropriate soft-skills towards accomplishing four vital parameters (1) Cost, (2) Quality, (3) Timeline, and (4) Compliance of an organization. The method selects the candidate based on quality ratings and assigns the trained human resource to the project. The method also incorporates receiving insurance quote based on the profile of a human resource and requirement of a project.

Abstract: A method for implementing cybersecurity risk management for network connectable devices is disclosed. The method involves device vulnerability and risk assessment, risk remediation, compromise detection and incident response. The vulnerability and risk assessment consider both technical and human factors. The method also includes using crowdsourcing methods, such as games and gamification, standalone or in combination with other technologies for inventory development, risk assessment and compromise detection. The risk remediation/mitigation and incident response include prioritized role and skill-based execution of security controls and incident responses, wherein security controls and incident responses can be selected from multiple options based on effectiveness and cost. The method further involves governance of the risk management process in an entity.

Abstract: A computer-implemented process of remediating device security vulnerabilities is carried out by determining identifications of electronic devices associated with an entity and calculating, for each device, a security cyber-vulnerability score. For instance, the cyber-vulnerability score is calculated by generating a device cyber-vulnerability score based upon known threats and vulnerabilities, generating a device level cyber-vulnerability score by augmenting the generated device cyber-vulnerability score based upon at least one device level parameter, generating an environmental cyber-vulnerability score, and computing an overall cyber-vulnerability score based upon the device level cyber-vulnerability score and the environmental cyber-vulnerability score.

Abstract: A method for optimal risk management is disclosed. The method involves deriving a risk score for a risk element by using various parameters that either indicate probability of risk materializing or potential impact if the risk actually materialized. The method also includes deriving ROI Index for each potential management action by calculating potential change in risk score and estimating cost of implementing the management action. The ROI Indexes are used to prioritize and select the optimal risk management strategies. The method further involves deriving risk scores for all risk categories. The method also includes prioritizing and selecting management actions from all risk categories.

Abstract: A process for user-based validation of data accuracy is disclosed. The process includes receiving a log-on from a first user having a first user role. The process further includes selecting a data value from an information profile based on the first determined user role. The process includes selecting a first question, which represents a value to be entered into the selected data value. Yet further, the process includes presenting the selected first question to the first user. In addition, the process includes receiving a first answer from the first user. The process further includes storing the first answer. The process also includes repeating the above recitations (receive log-in, select data value, select question, present question, receive answer, and store answer) for a second user. Moreover, the process includes comparing the stored first answer against the stored second answer and updating the data value profile based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method for implementing device level security is disclosed. The method involves detecting a device that has a security profile. The security profile has an incomplete parameter (or field) (e.g., make, model, device serial number, FDA class, protected health information, or operating system of the device). The method also includes receiving feedback from a first user to supply a data value for the incomplete parameter. The data value from the first user is validated by a second user (but can require multiple validations). The validated data value is used to identify on the device, potential attack vectors and associated vulnerabilities. The method also includes implementing a security measure based on the identified potential attack vectors and associated vulnerabilities and updating the security profile of the device accordingly.

Abstract: A system includes an energy storage system capable of receiving electrical energy from an energy source and can supply electrical energy to a first load during a first period and to the first load during a second period. The first load differs in usage rate from the first period relative to the second period. A system controller maintains the energy storage system such that the energy storage system maintains a first amount of stored electrical energy during a first mode, and a second amount of electrical energy during a second mode. The system controller maintains the energy storage system in the first mode during a first portion of the first period, and in the second mode during a second portion of the first period.
