Abstract

Various embodiments of the present technology include methods of assessing risk of a cyber security failure in a computer network of an entity. Some embodiments involve using continual or periodic data collecting to improve inferential analysis, as well as obtaining circumstantial or inferential information from social networks. Machine learning may be used to improve predicitive capabilities. Some embodiments allow for identification of an entity from circumstantial or inferential information based on the machine learning and comparative analyses.
