1. A method of managing risk in an electronic content insurance system, comprising:
- an electronic actuarial agent detecting a risk factor present in a computing environment;
the electronic actuarial agent assigning a probability that the risk factor will be a cause of a loss of a content object stored in the computing environment; and
the electronic actuarial agent performing one of notifying a user of the computing environment of the risk factor and acting to mitigate the risk factor.

Abstract
A method of managing risk in an electronic content insurance system includes an electronic actuarial agent detecting a risk factor present in a computing environment. The method continues with the electronic actuarial agent assigning a probability that the risk factor will be a cause of a loss of a content object stored in the computing environment, and the electronic actuarial agent performing one of notifying a user of the computing environment of the risk factor and acting to mitigate the risk factor.

13. An electronic actuarial agent, comprising:
-
a content steward module that detects one or more risk factors in a computing environment that can contribute to a loss of content objects stored within the computing environment;
a risk factor probability module that estimates a likelihood that the one or more of the risk factors will contribute to the loss of content objects stored within the computing environment; and
a risk mitigation module that selects a course of action to mitigate the risk factor based on the estimate performed by the risk factor probability module. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An electronic content insurance system, comprising:
-
a plurality of components of a computing environment, each of the plurality having a content storage device; and
an electronic actuarial agent, which is at least occasionally coupled to each of the plurality of components, for determining a level of risk that one or more of the plurality of components will experience a loss of content stored on the content storage device of each of the plurality of components. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. An electronic content insurance system, comprising:
-
means for coupling to a plurality of components of a computing environment, each of the plurality of components having content stored on a storage device associated with each of the plurality of components; and
means for determining a level of risk that one or more of the storage devices associated with each of the plurality of components will experience a loss of content. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32)

33. A method insuring against a loss of content objects, comprising:
-
an electronic actuarial agent determining that a risk factor exists within a computing environment;
without input from a user, mitigating the risk factor; and
backing up at least some of the content objects. - View Dependent Claims (34)
