Publication number: 20230259858Abstract: A multiplier is utilized to quantify a cybersecurity risk level of a portfolio of entities (e.g., companies) and enable actions to mitigate that quantified risk. In doing so, features or attributes of one or more companies in a portfolio are compared to features or attributes of one or more companies that experienced an adverse cybersecurity event (e.g. a data breach). Further, a degree of dependency, such as a matrix of a number of shared vendors and the proximity of those vendors to the companies, can be measured between (1) portfolio companies and one or more companies that experienced a cybersecurity event, and/or (2) the portfolio companies themselves to better quantify the risk. That is, to more meaningfully analyze a cybersecurity event that occurred at one or more companies and better predict the likelihood of an occurrence at portfolio companies, embodiments can determine an n-degree interdependency between companies.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Jue Mo, Luis Vargas, A.

Patent number: 11386210Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method, system, and device for inquiry response mapping for determining a cybersecurity risk level of an entity. To manage and/or evaluate a cybersecurity risk level based on a relationship between a first entity and a second entity, questionnaires (e.g., requests or inquires) are often exchanged between two entities. One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide populating data sets (e.g., questionnaires) indicative of risk level for the first entity or the second entity. One or more other aspects of the present disclosure further provide determining a cybersecurity risk level of an entity by mapping responses to a plurality of inquiry sets directed to the first entity or the second entity.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: SecurityScorecard, Inc.Inventors: Samuel Kassoumeh, Dolly Krishnaswamy, A.
