Abstract

We are in a digital revolution. Over 85% of an organization's value is in digital form. Digital assets are systems, processes, data and technologies. Cyber exposures are quantified and cyber risks are scored. A graphical user interface visualizes a cyber-risk engine that quantifies cyber risk in alignment to how insurance companies pay claims, using flexible and multiple cyber risk algorithms that are prescribed in relationship to a customer's risk requirements. Digital asset cyber risk ratings are measured to increase cyber resiliency. A cyber risk management platform automates business processes across each cybersecurity function that provides data from near-real time cybersecurity tools for participants to reduce cyber risk back to acceptable risk tolerances and improve cyber resiliency.

Claims (18)

1. A method executed by a computer that quantifies a cyber risk associated with a digital data asset, the method comprising:

capturing, by the computer from a digital asset inventory of digital assets, a number of records stored in a database;

capturing, by the computer from the digital asset inventory of the digital assets, an average revenue per hour;

capturing, by the computer from the digital asset inventory of the digital assets, an organization revenue;

displaying, by the computer, the number of records stored in the database, the average revenue per hour, and the organization revenue via a graphical user interface having definable mathematical operands including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division;

receiving, by the computer, algorithmic selections via the graphical user interface specifying the number of records stored in the database, the average revenue per hour, the organization revenue and the definable mathematical operands including at least one of the addition, the subtraction, the multiplication, and the division;

creating, by the computer, the cyber risk algorithm using the algorithmic selections specifying the number of records stored in the database, the average revenue per hour, the organization revenue, the definable mathematical operands including at least one of the addition, the subtraction, the multiplication, and the division, the digital asset inventory of the digital assets, asset classifications associated with the digital assets, data classifications associated with the digital assets, internal data sources associated with the digital assets, and external data sources associated with the digital assets; and

financially quantifying, by the computer, the cyber risk associated with the digital data asset of the digital data assets by executing the cyber risk algorithm.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending a webpage that specifies the cyber risk associated with the digital data asset.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the financially quantifying the cyber risk further comprises calculating a data exfiltration exposure based on the number of records stored in the database multiplied by a cost per record.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the financially quantifying the cyber risk further comprises calculating a business interruption exposure based on the average revenue per hour.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the financially quantifying the cyber risk further comprises calculating a regulatory loss based on the organization revenue.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising determining a cyber insurance associated with the digital data asset based on the data exfiltration exposure.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising comparing the cyber risk to a threshold value.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising determining the cyber risk fails to satisfy the threshold value.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising generating an alert in response to the cyber risk failing to satisfy the threshold value.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising capturing, by the computer from the digital asset inventory of the digital assets, a CPU usage associated with a central processing unit (CPU).

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising providing a cyber budget based on the CPU usage captured from the digital asset inventory of the digital assets.
