Abstract
Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for defending against a cyber attack via asset overlay mapping are provided herein. A method includes determining which of multiple systems within an organization stores each of multiple assets, determining at least one relationship present between the multiple assets across the multiple systems of the organization, and identifying, upon an attack of a first system of the multiple systems within the organization, one or more additional systems of the multiple systems vulnerable to the attack based on at least one relationship between one or more of the multiple assets stored on the first system to one or more of the multiple assets stored on one or more additional systems.
