Abstract
A computer-implemented method for assessing cyber risks using incident-origin information may include (1) receiving a request for a cyber-risk assessment of an entity of interest, (2) using an Internet-address data source that maps identifiers of entities to public Internet addresses of the entities to translate an identifier of the entity into a set of Internet addresses of the entity, (3) using an incident-origin data source that maps externally-detected security incidents to public Internet addresses from which the security incidents originated to translate the set of Internet addresses into a set of security incidents that originated from the entity, and (4) using the set of security incidents to generate the cyber-risk assessment of the entity. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media may have similar features.
