Abstract
A system for calculating cyber-risk in a software application includes a cyber-risk calculator. The cyber-risk calculator receives a security assessment result sample having a list of security modules, each security module listing including a respective result of a security assessment of the application identifying a vulnerability and/or misconfiguration capable of being exploited and/or abused. When run in a risk calculation mode, the cyber-risk calculator determines a world partition of the application in the security assessment result sample belongs to, references a set of parameters from a parametrization database according to the world partition corresponding to the application, determines a cyber-risk exposure level for the application based upon the security assessment result sample and the set of parameters, and reports results of the cyber-risk calculation.
