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.
