  • Publication number: 20220121754
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for determining the probability of cyber risk-related loss within one or more computing systems composed of computing elements are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: assess vulnerability by determining an exposure window for a computing element based on the number of discrete times within a given time frame where the computing element is in a vulnerable state; determine a frequency of contact of the computing element with threat actors; normalize the exposure window and the frequency of contact; calculate a threat event frequency by dividing the normalized exposure window by the normalized frequency of contact; and repeat the steps for multiple elements. When combined with liability data that describes the loss magnitude implications of these events ,organizations can prioritize the elements based on loss exposure and take action to prevent loss exposure.

  • Publication number: 20200387846
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for determining the impact of failures of information systems within an architecture of information systems are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: determine a base set of nodes; assign dependency values between pairs of the nodes in the base set; determine an intermediate set of nodes representing information systems in the architecture; assign dependency values between pairs of the nodes in the intermediate set and the nodes in the base set; monitor operating conditions of the information systems; assign an operating condition value to each node base on the operating conditions; and determine an operational status of at least one of the information systems based on operating condition values of nodes corresponding to other information systems and corresponding dependency values. The architecture can accomplish a mission and the a best case outcome of the mission and a worst case outcome of the mission can be determined.
