  • Publication number: 20220058747
    Abstract: A system for insurance process management employing an advanced insurance management platform has been developed. A high speed data retrieval and storage module retrieves insurance related data from a plurality of sources. A data analysis module determines an activeness metric for an object, such as a physical asset, in order to categorize risk and also receives a plurality of individual, entity, and object data to create one or more cognitive maps which may analyzed to determine a propensity for risk. The data analysis module generates a cognitive density metric based on the activeness metric and cognitive map. A predictive analytics module performs predictive analytics functions on normalized insurance related data and using the cognitive density metric. A predictive simulation module performs predictive simulation functions on normalized insurance related data. As a result, the system can produce various models to determine risk and loss associated with an insured physical asset.

  • Publication number: 20220060508
    Abstract: A system and method for self-adjusting cybersecurity analysis and score generation, wherein a reconnaissance engine gathers data about a client's computer network from the client, from devices and systems on the client's network, and from the Internet regarding various aspects of cybersecurity. Each of these aspects is evaluated independently, weighted, and cross-referenced to generate a cybersecurity score by aggregating individual vulnerability and risk factors together to provide a comprehensive characterization of cybersecurity risk using a transparent and traceable methodology. The scoring system itself can be used as a state machine with the cybersecurity score acting as a feedback mechanism, in which a cybersecurity score can be set at a level appropriate for a given organization, and data from clients or groups of clients with more extensive reporting can be used to supplement data for clients or groups of clients with less extensive reporting to enhance cybersecurity analysis and scoring.
