Publication number: 20220121754Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2022Publication date: April 21, 2022Applicant: RiskLens, Inc.Inventors: Jack Allen Jones, Justin Nicholas Theriot, Jason Michael Cherry

Publication number: 20170337396Abstract: A method and apparatus useful to sequester sensitive identifiable data from the data associated therewith and store this sensitive data in a shielded limited access structure while the associated data is periodically processed in a data center while concurrently scanned for potential malware/ransomware script. Once thus cleaned the data processed in the data center is then converted to a read only form and as thus converted brought to the limited access structure where it is screened once again for script tags and if none are found is then merged with the corresponding identifiable data to be printed and mailed. This repeated screening pass together with the periodic nature of the data center's operations combine to minimize all potential exposure to unwanted data contamination while the secured nature of the limited access structure can be used for secure long term storage.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2016Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Michael Cherry, Joseph Kennedy, Manfred Schenk, Mark Switzer
