System and method for artificial intelligence-based risk assessment and security control of digital assets

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• detecting a change in digital asset security metadata for a digital asset;
• engaging a trained artificial intelligence engine to generate a risk score for the digital asset based at least on the digital asset security metadata;
• and
• in response to determining that the risk score exceeds a predefined threshold, triggering security controls on the digital asset.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions which, when executed, configure at least one processor to:

• detect a change in digital asset security metadata for a digital asset;
• engage a trained artificial intelligence engine to generate a risk score for the digital asset based at least on the digital asset security metadata;
• and
• in response to determining that the risk score exceeds a predefined threshold, trigger security controls on the digital asset.
