ABSTRACT:
In certain implementations, systems and methods for predicting technology vulnerabilities in a network of computer devices are based on software characteristics of processes executing at the computer devices. In one preferred implementation, the system identifies processes at various computing devices within an organization, identifies software characteristics associated with the processes, applies technology controls to the software characteristics, determines risk indexes based on the modified technology control, applies administrative controls to the risk indexes, aggregates the indexes to create risk model, determines alternative risk models, and presents the risk models for consideration and analysis by a user.
