Abstract
Disclosed are methods and systems for assessing system risks associated with one or more assets coupled to a network and mitigating against said system risks. According to one implementation, a method for assessing a system risk comprises receiving network data associated with a first asset communicatively coupled to a network, quantifying the network data, and generating a risk parameter using the quantified network data and vulnerability data associated with the network. The method further comprises determining, based on the risk parameter that a security risk of a first asset of the network is higher than the security risk of a second asset of the network. Upon this determining, the method initiates remediation operations that first secure the first asset on the network against a security breach to the network.
