Managing and predicting risk for computer devices using exposure management techniques
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in a data processing system having a program, the method comprising the steps performed by the program of:
- asynchronously receiving information about a computer-based system by subscribing to the information;
calculating a risk level at which the computer-based system operates based on the received information;
calculating an exposure level to failure of the computer-based system based on the received information; and
calculating a confidence level of the exposure level,wherein the risk level is calculated based on the exposure level and confidence level, andwherein the risk level is calculated using the formula;
risk level=exposure level*confidence level/a mitigating factor,where the mitigating factor is a value associated with the computer-based system.
