Abstract

Disclosed is an evaluation system for evaluating a resource operation of an information system by a user. The evaluation system includes one or more arithmetic units, and one or more storage devices. The one or more storage devices are configured to store risk management information for managing an erroneous operation risk evaluation index relating to the resource operation of the information system. The one or more arithmetic units are configured to: receive operation information indicating a first resource operation designated by a first user, and evaluate an erroneous operation risk of the first resource operation based on the first resource operation and the risk management information.
