  • Patent number: 11367140
    Abstract: Techniques for secure electronic collaboration among parties to provide dynamic cyber insurance are disclosed. A profile describing information technology (IT) infrastructure for an entity is retrieved from an electronic distributed ledger. At least a portion of the profile is provided to a risk evaluator using the electronic distributed ledger. A cyber security risk evaluation associated with the profile is retrieved from the electronic distributed ledger. A request for cyber insurance from the entity is received. Cyber insurance parameters for the entity are determined automatically, using a computer processor, and based on the cyber security risk evaluation. The entity acquires cyber insurance based on the determined cyber insurance parameters.

  • Patent number: 10649758
    Abstract: Techniques that facilitate group patching recommendation and/or remediation with risk assessment are provided. In one example, a system includes a vertical stack component, a horizontal stack component and a risk classification component. The vertical stack component identifies a first patch profile from a software system associated with a computer system environment. The horizontal stack component identifies a second patch profile from a hardware system associated with network nodes of the computer system environment. The system learns over time to identify repetitive patterns using machine learning techniques. Then, the risk classification component performs a machine learning process to determine a risk classification for the computer system environment based on the first patch profile and the second patch profile.

  • Patent number: 10552782
    Abstract: Aspects generate costs for a business plan from normalized cost metric values by mapping (via a processor implementing an automated process) text artifacts of a business plan to different tags that each include a cost as a function of a time period for delivery of a service that is associated with a computer service element. Aspects also generate a summary view cost estimation as a function of the time period, costs of the mapped tags and a geographic region productive factor that is assigned to a region identified as providing delivery of the service that is associated with the computer service element. The summary view cost estimation estimates a total cost of delivering the computing services of the computer service element over time as a function of the normalized, mapped tag cost metrics.
