Abstract
A network security assessment apparatus includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores first, second, and third values of a metric. The metric indicates one or more of a number of network security breaches and a number of fraudulent transactions. The processor chronologically orders the first, second, and third values for the metric over a period of time and compares the first, second, and third values against a threshold to produce first, second, and third results. If the first result is different from the second result or if the second result is different from the third result, the processor increments a volatility count. The processor determines, based on the volatility count, that a control should be implemented to mitigate one or more of the number of network security breaches and the number of fraudulent transactions and in response to that determination, the processor implements the control.
