Method and system for analysing and mitigating security risks in open innovation ecosystem

A computer-implemented system for analysing and mitigating security risks in an open innovation ecosystem, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to implement:
• a threat identification unit configured to detect potential vulnerabilities in open innovation activities, including intellectual property exchanges, research data handling, and partner collaboration processes, and to provide identified threat data as input;
• a game-theoretic security modeling unit coupled to the threat identification unit, the game-theoretic security modeling unit configured to represent interactions between an innovator and an adversary as a two-player zero-sum game, the two-player zero-sum game comprising at least one payoff matrix that encodes outcomes of defensive resource allocations and adversarial actions derived from the identified threat data;
• an equilibrium analysis unit coupled to the game-theoretic security modeling unit, the equilibrium analysis unit configured to compute a Nash equilibrium from the payoff matrix, the Nash equilibrium representing optimal defensive investments under adversarial conditions;
• a Bayesian risk modeling unit coupled to the equilibrium analysis unit, the Bayesian risk modeling unit configured to model adversary uncertainty using probability distributions, and further configured to update the equilibrium strategies based on incomplete or dynamic information;
• an uncertainty quantification unit coupled to the Bayesian risk modeling unit, the uncertainty quantification unit configured to evaluate adversary uncertainty using entropy-based risk assessment, and to determine levels of security investment resources responsive to the quantified uncertainty;
• and
• a policy and strategy planner unit coupled to the uncertainty quantification unit, the policy and strategy planner unit configured to integrate results of the equilibrium analysis, Bayesian risk modeling, and uncertainty quantification to generate actionable security recommendations including allocation of security investment, prioritization of protective measures, and guidelines for mitigation strategies.
