Abstract

In an illustrative embodiment, systems and methods by which a computerized platform accesses a data set pertaining to system characteristics and delivers the data to models to assist a user in identifying and remedying cyber vulnerabilities may include models for identifying vulnerabilities based on system characteristics and for identifying remedial actions and services to mitigate the vulnerabilities. Models may be created for quantifying composite risk exhibited by the system and may quantify risk on a domain-by-domain basis. The influence that performance of one or more remedial actions may have on the quantified risk profile of the system may be automatically projected. The response of an insurance marketplace as it pertains to offering policies to cover losses arising from cyber vulnerabilities exhibited by the system, either in its status quo or as altered via by enacting one or more remedial actions, may be automatically projected.
