Abstract
In an illustrative embodiment, methods and systems for cybersecurity assessment of an organization's technology infrastructure include identifying features of the technology infrastructure and automatically generating a threat profile relevant to both the technology infrastructure and the organization's business (and/or business objectives), where the threat profile includes potential threat actors and threat scenarios applicable to the technology infrastructure. The methods and systems may include evaluating cybersecurity controls of the organization's technology infrastructure in light of the threat profile to identify and rate vulnerabilities within the technology infrastructure.
