Abstract
Methods, computer-readable media, software, and apparatuses may monitor consumer information in order to determine a probability of a data breach associated with a customer based on an online presence of the customer. The probability of a data breach may be used to present metrics to a consumer and/or a service provider. Further, the consumer may be presented with information indicating what factors contribute to the probability of a data breach, as well as information regarding how to reduce those factors.
Claims20
A cyber-security system, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory unit storing computer-executable instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the cyber-security system to:
- monitor a communications network for confidential information associated with a consumer account of a consumer;
- determine, based on a plurality of digital accounts associated with the consumer on the communications network, a digital safety value indicative of a risk of a data breach of the confidential information;
- detect an action event associated with the confidential information;
- and
- adjust the digital safety value based on the detected action event.
A method comprising:
- monitoring a communications network for confidential information associated with a consumer account of a consumer;
- determining, based on a plurality of digital accounts associated with the consumer on the communications network, a digital safety value indicative of a risk of a data breach of the confidential information;
- detecting an action event associated with the confidential information;
- and
- adjusting the digital safety value based on the detected action event.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- monitor a communications network for confidential information associated with a consumer account of a consumer;
- determine, based on a plurality of digital accounts associated with the consumer on the communications network, a digital safety value indicative of a risk of a data breach of the confidential information;
- detect an action event associated with the confidential information;
- and
- adjust the digital safety value based on the detected action event.
