Apparatus and method for assessing financial loss from threats capable of affecting at least one computer network

摘要

Apparatus for assessing threat to at least one computer network in which a plurality of systems (30₁, 30₂, 30₃, 30₄, 30₅, . . . 30_n) operate is configured to determine predicted threat activity (13), to determine expected downtime of each system in dependence upon said predicted threat activity, to determine loss (12_A, 12_B, 12_C, 12_D, 12_E, . . . , 12_m) for each of a plurality of operational processes (31_A, 31_B, 31_C, 31_D, 31_E, . . . 31_m dependent on the downtimes of the systems, to add losses for the plurality of processes so as to obtain a combined loss (12_SUM) arising from the threat activity.
