Operational risk control apparatus and method for data processing
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling operational risk in a data processing system, comprising:
- a risk domain segmenter for segmenting said data processing system into a plurality of risk domains;
a domain risk threshold selector for selecting a domain risk threshold for at least one of said plurality of risk domains;
a system element monitor operable to query said data processing system for an indication of presence of system elements;
a risk quantizer for evaluating a system element for element risk and for computing the potential contribution of said element risk to a domain risk total;
a risk threshold comparator for comparing said domain risk total with said domain risk threshold; and
a domain assignor operable to assign said system element to a risk domain in dependency upon an output of said risk threshold comparator.

Abstract
An apparatus for controlling operational risk in a data processing system comprises a risk domain segmenter for segmenting the data processing system into a plurality of risk domains, a domain risk threshold selector for selecting a domain risk threshold for at least one of the plurality of risk domains, a system element monitor operable to query the data processing system for an indication of presence of system elements, a risk quantizer for evaluating a system element for element risk and for computing the potential contribution of the element risk to a domain risk total, a risk threshold comparator for comparing the domain risk total with the domain risk threshold, and a domain assignor operable to assign the system element to a risk domain in dependency upon an output of the risk threshold comparator.

9. A method for controlling operational risk in a data processing system comprising:
-
segmenting, by a risk domain segmenter, said data processing system into a plurality of risk domains; selecting, by a domain risk threshold selector, a domain risk threshold for at least one of said plurality of risk domains; querying, by a system element monitor, said data processing system for an indication of presence of system elements; evaluating, by a risk quantizer, a system element for element risk and computing a potential contribution of said element risk to a domain risk total; comparing, by a risk threshold comparator, said domain risk total with said domain risk threshold; and assigning, by a domain assignor, said system element to a risk domain in dependency upon an output of said risk threshold comparator. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A computer-program product for controlling operational risk in a data processing system, comprising:
-
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; means, provided on the computer-readable medium, for segmenting said data processing system into a plurality of risk domains; means, provided on the computer-readable medium, for selecting a domain risk threshold for at least one of said plurality of risk domains; means, provided on the computer-readable medium, for querying said data processing system for an indication of presence of system elements; means, provided on the computer-readable medium, for evaluating a system element for element risk and computing the potential contribution of said element risk to a domain risk total; means, provided on the computer-readable medium, for comparing said domain risk total with said domain risk threshold; and means, provided on the computer-readable medium, for assigning said system element to a risk domain in dependency upon an output of said risk threshold comparator. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)

16. A computer implemented method of deploying a service comprising steps of deploying computer program code operable to, when deployed into a computer infrastructure and executed thereon, cause said computer system to perform steps comprising:
-
segmenting, by a risk domain segmenter, said data processing system into a plurality of risk domains; selecting, by a domain risk threshold selector, a domain risk threshold for at least one of said plurality of risk domains; querying, by a system element monitor, said data processing system for an indication of presence of system elements; evaluating, by a risk quantizer, a system element for element risk and computing a potential contribution of said element risk to a domain risk total; comparing, by a risk threshold comparator, said domain risk total with said domain risk threshold; and assigning, by a domain assignor, said system element to a risk domain in dependency upon an output of said risk threshold comparator. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
