  • Publication number: 20230325505
    Abstract: A system and method for setting alert thresholds related to cybersecurity ratings of one or more affiliate entities. An example method includes: obtaining entity data including cybersecurity event data for an affiliate entity; calculating a time-series cybersecurity rating for the affiliate entity based on the entity data; associating an alert reporting threshold with the time-series cybersecurity rating, wherein a comparison of the alert reporting threshold to the time-series cybersecurity rating determines a number of alerts reported for the affiliate entity; applying an alternative alert reporting threshold against the time-series cybersecurity rating to determine an alternative number of alerts reported for the affiliate entity; and updating the alert reporting threshold for the time-series cybersecurity rating to the alternative alert reporting threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230269265
    Abstract: A cybersecurity risk management method may include recommending, for each of a plurality of affiliates of an entity, a respective cybersecurity criticality tier selected from a set of cybersecurity criticality tiers; receiving user input adjusting and/or adopting the recommended cybersecurity criticality tier for each of the affiliates; assigning each of the affiliates to the respective adjusted or adopted cybersecurity criticality tier; obtaining respective security scores for the affiliates; and displaying a user interface component configured to show a visualization of a cybersecurity risk management plan of the entity with respect to the plurality of affiliates, wherein the risk management plan partitions the affiliates into a plurality of affiliate sets based on the security scores and the assigned cybersecurity criticality tiers of the affiliates and specifies, for each of the affiliate sets, an action to be taken by the entity with respect to the affiliates in the affiliate set.

  • Patent number: 11689555
    Abstract: A cybersecurity risk management method may include recommending, for each of a plurality of affiliates of an entity, a respective cybersecurity criticality tier selected from a set of cybersecurity criticality tiers; receiving user input adjusting and/or adopting the recommended cybersecurity criticality tier for each of the affiliates; assigning each of the affiliates to the respective adjusted or adopted cybersecurity criticality tier; obtaining respective security scores for the affiliates; and displaying a user interface component configured to show a visualization of a cybersecurity risk management plan of the entity with respect to the plurality of affiliates, wherein the risk management plan partitions the affiliates into a plurality of affiliate sets based on the security scores and the assigned cybersecurity criticality tiers of the affiliates and specifies, for each of the affiliate sets, an action to be taken by the entity with respect to the affiliates in the affiliate set.

  • Patent number: 11409304
    Abstract: The described techniques relate to predicting object behavior based on top-down representations of an environment comprising top-down representations of image features in the environment. For example, a top-down representation may comprise a multi-channel image that includes semantic map information along with additional information for a target object and/or other objects in an environment. A top-down image feature representation may also be a multi-channel image that incorporates various tensors for different image features with channels of the multi-channel image, and may be generated directly from an input image. A prediction component can generate predictions of object behavior based at least in part on the top-down image feature representation, and in some cases, can generate predictions based on the top-down image feature representation together with the additional top-down representation.
