Adaptive system for dynamic security exposure assessment
Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamic security exposure assessment. The present disclosure is configured to query a variety of public and private sources to capture relevant exposure information about a third party. Machine learning models analyze this information to identify key exposure vectors. Based on these vectors, an exposure assessment model is dynamically generated and deployed within the third party's network environment to evaluate their security posture. This approach enables real-time, comprehensive assessment of third-party security exposures by integrating advanced data aggregation and machine learning techniques.
1 . A system for dynamic security exposure assessment, the system comprising:
a data aggregation subsystem configured to:
query public and private sources associated with a third party; and
capture exposure information associated with the third party based on at least the querying;

deploy an ML model on the captured exposure information;
determine, using the ML model, a set of exposure vectors for the third party based on at least the exposure information;
an exposure assessment subsystem operatively coupled to the ML subsystem, and configured to:
dynamically generate an exposure assessment model for the third party based on at least the set of exposure vectors;
deploy the exposure assessment model on a network environment associated with the third party;
determine an exposure assessment of the third party; and
generate feedback loops with a continuous learning mechanism to adjust exposure assessment evaluations based on evolving exposure patterns; and
a security control subsystem operatively coupled to the exposure assessment subsystem, and configured to:
determine security controls for the third party based the set of exposure vectors;
determine whether the exposure assessment of the third party meets the security controls; and
validate the third party for onboarding in an instance in which the exposure assessment meets the security controls.
