Abstract
A system and method for managing the security health of a network devices interconnected with each other in a service provided in an entity. The security health of the networked device is evaluated by determining a cyber risk score for the entity having a plurality of devices. A first set of data from individual network devices and a second set of data including risk data from an external data source are collected by a data collector. The collected data is normalized into a format which can be further correlated by a correlation engine. The correlating step enables to determine cyber risk scores for the individual network devices. The cyber risk score for the entity may further be determined by aggregating the individual cyber risk scores of the individual network devices. The risk scores are displayed by a web-based user interface which is enabled by an application programming interface.
