Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for network asset risk analysis. An apparatus includes an asset module that identifies a plurality of network assets of a data network, a risk module that calculates a risk level for each of the plurality of network assets based on a plurality of factors, and an interface module that provides an interactive interface that graphically presents the data network and visually highlights each of the plurality of network assets according to their calculated risk levels.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an asset module that identifies a plurality of network assets of a data network, the plurality of network assets comprising a plurality of interconnected physical and virtual computing components;
- a risk module that calculates a risk level for each of the plurality of network assets based on a plurality of factors, the risk level describing a threat that an asset is to the data network being capable of functioning at a predetermined service level;
- and
- an interface module that provides an interactive interface that graphically presents the data network and visually highlights each of the plurality of network assets according to their calculated risk levels,
- wherein at least a portion of said modules comprise one or more of hardware circuits, programmable hardware circuits and executable code, the executable code stored on one or more computer readable storage media.
A method, comprising:
- identifying a plurality of network assets of a data network, the plurality of network assets comprising a plurality of interconnected physical and virtual computing components;
- calculating a risk level for each of the plurality of network assets based on a plurality of factors, the risk level describing a threat that an asset is to the data network being capable of functioning at a predetermined service level;
- and
- providing an interactive interface that graphically presents the data network and visually highlights each of the plurality of network assets according to their calculated risk levels.
An apparatus, comprising:
- means for identifying a plurality of network assets of a data network, the plurality of network assets comprising a plurality of interconnected physical and virtual computing components;
- means for calculating a risk level for each of the plurality of network assets based on a plurality of factors, the risk level describing a threat that an asset is to the data network being capable of functioning at a predetermined service level;
- and
- means for providing an interactive interface that graphically presents the data network and visually highlights each of the plurality of network assets according to their calculated risk levels.
