Abstract
A system, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for modeling IT infrastructure risk factors. The non-transitory computer readable medium having stored instructions, which when executed by a processor may cause the processor to generate a plurality of risk matrices, where an external process of a customer of an IT supplier is mapped to an IT infrastructure element of the IT supplier and a business process of a client of the customer is mapped to the external process of the customer, perform a risk analysis using the plurality of matrices to determine a criticality value for the IT infrastructure element in relation to the business process, and cause a presentation of the criticality value.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform the method of:
- generating a plurality of risk matrices, wherein an external process of a customer of an IT supplier is mapped to an IT infrastructure element of the IT supplier and a business process of a client of the customer is mapped to the external process of the customer;
- performing a risk analysis using the plurality of matrices to determine a criticality value for the IT infrastructure element in relation to the business process;
- and
- causing a presentation of the criticality value.
A system for modeling risk factors for elements of an information technology (IT) system, the system comprising a memory and a processor configured to execute program instructions stored in the memory, the memory storing program instructions that when executed by the processor function as a risk modeling engine configured to:
- generate, using data from a configuration management database (CMDB), a risk matrix, wherein, an external process of a customer of an IT supplier is mapped to an IT infrastructure element of the IT supplier;
- perform a risk analysis, to determine a criticality value for IT infrastructure element in relation to a business process of a client of the customer;
- and
- cause a presentation of the criticality value
A method for modeling risk factors for elements of an information technology (IT) system, the method comprising:
- generating, using a computer processor, a plurality of risk matrices, wherein an external process of a customer of an IT supplier is mapped to an IT infrastructure element of the IT supplier and a business process of a client of the customer is mapped to the external process of the customer;
- performing, using the computer processor, a risk analysis using the plurality of matrices to determine a criticality value for the IT infrastructure element in relation to the business process;
- and
- causing a presentation of the criticality value.
