Generation of an identification evaluation regarding a system aspect of a system

Abstract

A method includes determining, by an analysis system, a system aspect of a system for an identification evaluation. The method further includes determining, by the analysis system, at least one evaluation perspective for use in performing the identification evaluation on the system aspect. The method further includes determining, by the analysis system, at least one evaluation viewpoint for use in performing the identification evaluation on the system aspect. The method further includes obtaining, by the analysis system, identification data regarding the system aspect in accordance with the at least one evaluation perspective and the at least one evaluation viewpoint. The method further includes calculating, by the analysis system, an identification rating as a measure of system identification maturity for the system aspect based on the identification data, the at least one evaluation perspective, the at least one evaluation viewpoint, and at least one evaluation rating metric.

Benefits of technology

The present patent application claims priority to a provisional application filed on March 20, 2020, and is about a system analysis system that can evaluate computer systems and their hardware and software components. The system analysis system can detect and diagnose hardware and software issues, and recommend solutions to prevent system downtime and data loss caused by cyber-attacks. The patent text includes drawings and schematic block diagrams of the networked environment and system elements that can be used for evaluation and analysis. The technical effects of this patent are to provide a system analysis system that can efficiently and accurately evaluate computer systems and their components, and recommend solutions to prevent system downtime and data loss caused by cyber-attacks.

Problems solved by technology

Hardware components degrade over time and eventually are incapable of performing their intended functions.

The knowledge requirements for servicing a system typically outstrip the abilities of the IT department or third-party provider.

Thus, hardware and software may not be functioning properly and can adversely affect the overall system.

Cyber-attacks are initiated by individuals or entities with the bad intent of stealing sensitive information such as login / password information, stealing proprietary information such as trade secrets or important new technology, interfering with the operation of a system, and / or holding the system hostage until a ransom is paid, among other improper purposes.

A single cyber-attack can make a large system inoperable and cost the system owner many millions of dollars to restore and remedy.
