Abstract: An adaptive risk management application retrieves data corresponding to an asset. The asset is a computing device or software application of an enterprise system. The adaptive risk management application identifies a set of vulnerabilities of the asset. The adaptive risk management application determines, for each identified vulnerability, a likelihood of a threat actor successfully exploiting the vulnerability. The adaptive risk management application determines, based on the likelihoods, a risk score for the asset. The adaptive risk management application sends the risk score for display.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for generating alerts in association with a request to open an account for an individual. For example, information identifying an individual may be received from a financial entity in association with the financial entity receiving a request to open an account for the individual from a requesting entity. The requesting entity may be a vendor or service provider associated with the financial entity. An electronic notification may then be sent to the individual, which may include a selectable option to indicate that the individual does not authorize opening of the account. In response to receiving an indication that the individual does not authorize opening of the account, notifications may be sent to both the financial entity and the requesting entity indicating that the individual has not authorized opening of the account.
