Project poster

Companies around the world are investing in cybersecurity but are not confident in their security controls as the technology landscape is ever changing. Spyral, our risk scoring framework, aims to provide operational cyber awareness for companies by providing them the fastest actionable insight into their risk posture. National Vulnerability Database(NVD) provides a vulnerability score for different software flaws. Spyral extracts this vulnerability score from NVD and superimposes it with other operating environment factors such as number of machines in environment, cloud infrastructure, and affiliation with external entities to come up with a risk score contextual to the company. Spyral is also industry agnostic and does not take special regulations into consideration to provide an unbiased scoring based on only the operating conditions. This information is going to be presented in an information visualization dashboard which will provide quick insights into their risk posture.
