| 20100153156 | Critically/vulnerability/risk logic analysis methodology for business enterprise and cyber security - Method and apparatus for computer-aided assessment of risk, criticality, and vulnerability with respect to a site. The method and apparatus may use multiple factors to determine overall risk. In some embodiments, the method may assess or determine an impact if a site or asset is lost. The method and apparatus may identify and quantify what risks are acceptable and unacceptable. In an embodiment, a method and apparatus may incorporate mathematical evaluations and numeric assignments that result in a criticality vector and a vulnerability vector. In some embodiments, the criticality vector and vulnerability vector may be used to represent a site's overall risk and/or prioritization and ranking relative to other sites. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100287036 | COMPUTER-AIDED METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ASSESSING AN ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESS OR SYSTEM - Method and apparatus for computer-aided assessment of organizational process or system. Method and apparatus are adapted to display questions on a computer to an assessor, who then inputs numerical and/or textual inputs relative to the assessor's perception of the process or system. Filtering techniques inhibit entry of unsupported numerical and/or textual inputs which may be untrue and/or exaggerated. Questions used in combination with additional questions provide more accurate assessment of the system or process, where the question combinations already exist in a database. Questions asked may be directed to one or more recognized standards, and duplicative questions from different standards may be omitted. Evaluations of collected information are performed and additional corrective action questions are asked to identify degrees of risk and areas of weakness of the process or system. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110071872 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INFRASTRUCTURE RISK ASSESSMENT AND/OR MITIGATION - Provided is a method of assessing reliability of an infrastructure entity. The method includes providing production data for an entity, assessing how the entity is expected to respond to a disturbing event, adjusting production data based on how the entity is expected to respond to the disturbing event, providing, in a graphical display of a computer system, a display indicative of the adjusted production data, determining a reliability of the entity based on the adjusted production data, and recommending an action for the entity based on the display indicative of the determined reliability. | 03-24-2011 |
