Method and apparatus for system response improvement analysis

A cybersecurity analysis system comprises:

• an analysis computing entity that includes:
• one or more processing modules;
• a plurality of analysis system modules;
• and
• one or more network interface modules;
• and
• a plurality of private databases operably coupled to the analysis computing entity, wherein:
• the analysis computing entity obtains data regarding a system of the plurality of system via an analysis system module of the plurality of analysis system modules;
• the obtained data is regarding assets of the system, functions of the system, security of the system, and/or system self-evaluation;
• the obtained data is stored in a private database of the plurality of private databases;
• the analysis computing entity performs, based on the obtained data, a vulnerability analysis on the system with respect to the assets, with respect to the functions, with respect to the security, and/or with respect to the system self-analysis;
• the vulnerability analysis assesses the assets, the functions, the security, and/or the self-evaluation based on respective one or more of assessment metrics, which include best-in-class practices, regulatory requirements, security risk awareness, risk remediation information, security risk avoidance, performance optimization information, system development guidelines, software development guideline, hardware requirements, networking requirements, networking guidelines, and other system proficiency guidance;
• and
• the analysis computing entity generates a report regarding the vulnerability analysis assessment that provides a vulnerability score for:
• the assets with respect to one or more assessment metrics selected for the assets;
• the functions with respect to one or more assessment metrics selected for the functions;
• the security with respect to one or more assessment metrics selected for the security;
• and/or
• the self-evaluation with respect to one or more assessment metrics selected for the self-evaluation.
