Cybersecurity Risk Management for Computing Assets
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current cybersecurity systems fail to effectively identify and manage cybersecurity risks for computing assets, such as medical devices and nuclear facilities, leading to potential hacking and sabotage, as users lack awareness of at-risk assets and appropriate protective measures.
Innovation Solution
A method and system for facilitating cybersecurity risk management, which involves receiving asset information from computing assets, retrieving secondary information from a third-party database, analyzing data based on predetermined criteria, determining risk profiles, generating risk notifications, and transmitting these notifications to user devices, utilizing a communication device, processing device, and storage device.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If users implement cybersecurity systems to prevent hacking, then security protection is improved, but users cannot identify what assets are at risk and what steps to take for proper protection
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors computing assets and provides feedback to users about security risks, vulnerabilities, and recommended protective measures. This closed-loop feedback mechanism enables users to understand their asset risk status and take appropriate actions, resolving the information gap while maintaining security protection
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between cybersecurity threats and users, analyzing risks and translating complex security information into actionable insights. This intermediary function bridges the gap between security systems and end-users, making protection both effective and easy to operate
2Loss of information
If continuous monitoring and risk assessment of computing assets is implemented, then actionable insights for protection are provided, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs multiple functions including asset discovery, vulnerability assessment, risk analysis, and recommendation generation within a single integrated platform. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate tools and minimizes overall system complexity while comprehensively addressing cybersecurity risk information needs
