Devices, systems, and methods for identifying cyber assets and generating cyber risk mitigation actions based on a democratic matching algorithm

Abstract

A method for identifying cyber assets and implementing cyber risk mitigation actions based on a democratic matching algorithm is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes executing a plurality of cyber asset identification algorithms to identify a plurality of candidate match pairs, wherein each candidate match pair comprises two cyber assets identified as potential assets of the same entity by at least one of the cyber asset identification algorithms. The method can further include determining a true match probability for each candidate match pair, wherein the true match probability is the probability that the two cyber assets in the candidate match pair are assets of the same entity, and wherein the true match probability is based on which of the cyber asset identification algorithms identified the candidate match pair.
