  • Publication number: 20240007496
    Abstract: Determining an entity's cybersecurity risk and benchmarking that risk includes non-intrusively collecting one or more types of data associated with an entity. Embodiments further include calculating a security score for at least one of the one or more types of data based, at least in part, on processing of security information extracted from the at least one type of data, wherein the security information is indicative of a level of cybersecurity. Some embodiments also comprise assigning a weight to the calculated security score based on a correlation between the extracted security information and an overall security risk determined from analysis of one or more previously-breached entities in the same industry as the entity. Additional embodiments include calculating an overall cybersecurity risk score for the entity based, at least in part, on the calculated security score and the weight assigned to the calculated security score.
