Description
- Abstract:
- Cybersecurity data is robust and prevalent. However, that data rarely correlates with vulnerabilities, security controls, and threats for a target environment. As cyber-related threats continue to increase in prevalence and potential impact, organizations must become more agile and strategic in understanding and responding to threats. The following paper provides a framework to calculate a numerical risk score and present the information in a dashboard for use by executives and security teams. The framework includes strategic business and technical considerations, along with a rudimentary equation to aggregate cybersecurity data in near-real time.
