Various embodiments disclosed include, for each entity in a portfolio, receiving entity data indicative of attributes of an entity, determining the received entity data for at least some entities is missing a portion of the entity data required to perform a cyber risk analysis; and synthesizing the missing portion. The method may further include comparing the received entity data and synthesized missing portion for each of the entities to each other; locating clusters of similar entity data shared between two or more of the entities; and calculating a cyber risk score representing how different the entities are to one another based on the entity data that are not shared between entities. Some embodiments include comparing entities that are missing some entity data to entities which have complete entity data, and generating a synthesized portfolio by selecting entities having complete entity data to replace the entities that are missing entity data.

Synthetic diversity analysis with actionable feedback methodologies

Inferential analysis includes: assessing risk of a cyber security failure in a computer network of an entity, using a computer agent configured to collect information from at least one accessible Internet elements, automatically determining, based on the assessed risk, a change or a setting to at least one element of policy criteria of a cyber security policy; and automatically recommending, based on the assessed risk, a computer network change to reduce the assessed risk.

Inferential analysis using feedback for extracting and combining cyber risk information

Inferential analysis includes: assessing risk of a cyber security failure in a computer network of an entity, using a computer agent configured to collect information from at least one accessible Internet elements; automatically determining, based on the assessed risk, a change or a setting to at least one element of policy criteria of a cyber security policy; and automatically recommending, based on the assessed risk, a computer network change to reduce the assessed risk.

Various embodiments of the present technology include methods of assessing risk of a cyber security failure in a computer network of an entity. Some embodiments involve using continual or periodic data collecting to improve inferential analysis, as well as obtaining circumstantial or inferential information from social networks. Machine learning may be used to improve predicitive capabilities. Some embodiments allow for identification of an entity from circumstantial or inferential information based on the machine learning and comparative analyses.
