Patent-Grade Cyber Risk Framework

Dynamic Risk Intelligence
Quantified. Continuous. Explainable.

NOVA DRIM is a real-time, exposure-driven framework for cyber risk quantification and explainable decision intelligence.

Eliminate static assessments. Replace subjective scenarios with live telemetry, deterministic computation, and constrained AI reasoning, producing audit-ready risk intelligence continuously.

The Problem

Current Approaches Are Failing

Existing cyber risk models suffer from fundamental limitations that DRIM was designed to eliminate.

Static Scoring

Traditional Risk Platforms

Severity-based scoring from vulnerability metrics and qualitative categorization. No business context, no decision value, no real-time awareness.

Subjective Models

Financial Risk Quantification

Scenario-based approaches rely on expert-driven workshops, historical breach data, and periodic assessment cycles. Heavy subjectivity, limited live integration.

No Business Impact

Continuous Monitoring

Security telemetry platforms provide ongoing data but don't quantify business-level risk, model financial impact, or generate executive-level insights.

System Architecture

Five Computational Layers. Unified Intelligence.

Each layer performs deterministic processing before producing integrated, explainable risk output.

1

Exposure-Driven Likelihood Engine

Derives probability of compromise from real-time exposure conditions. Monitors state transitions across external attack surface, network, app misconfigurations, credential leakage, and third-party data, computing risk deltas on every change.

2

Attack Feasibility Modeling

Evaluates whether exposures can be exploited by scoring exploitability, active exploitation indicators, privilege escalation potential, lateral movement accessibility, and persistence mechanisms.

3

Business Impact Quantification

Translates technical exposures into business consequences: estimated financial loss, regulatory penalty exposure, operational disruption levels, and reputational damage, weighted by asset criticality and data sensitivity.

4

Dual-Layer Confidence Engine

Uniquely separates detection confidence (reliability of findings) from risk confidence (reliability of quantification). Classifies risk stability as transient, recurring, structural, or accepted conditions.

5

Constrained AI Explainability

AI operates under strict constraints: never generates numeric risk values, relies exclusively on structured input, and produces traceable reasoning artifacts, root-cause statements, remediation guidance, and audit-ready trails.

Process

Exposure In. Decision Intelligence Out.

Continuous ingestion, detection, computation, and explainable output, all in real time.

Ingest Multi-Domain Telemetry

External attack surface, network exposure, application misconfigurations, email auth posture, credential leakage, and third-party vendor data flow into the engine.

Detect Exposure State Transitions

Monitors for newly exposed services, remediated vulnerabilities, and control posture shifts, computing a risk delta on each state change.

Compute Risk Deterministically

Likelihood × Impact × Control Adjustment, continuously updated with attack feasibility weighting and dual-layer confidence scoring.

Generate Explainable Intelligence

Constrained AI produces root-cause statements, prioritization narratives, remediation guidance, and audit-ready reasoning trails for stakeholders.

Escalate & Act

Risk delta thresholds surface material changes on executive dashboards with vendor risk aggregation, ensuring decisions happen at the right time with full traceability.

Risk Calculation

Deterministic, Transparent Methodology

Every risk value is computed, never assumed, never subjective.

Core Risk Formula
Likelihood × Impact × Control Adjustment

Where Likelihood is continuously recalculated from live exposure state, not from static assumptions or periodic workshops.

Likelihood Inputs
Industry baseline probability, exposure adjustment factor, threat targeting multiplier, control weakness coefficient
Impact Inputs
Asset criticality, data sensitivity, regulatory jurisdiction, operational dependency, customer size & sector
Control Inputs
Remediation status, control posture changes, detection confidence, risk stability classification
Recalculation Triggers
Exposure state transitions, threat intel updates, control posture changes, vendor risk signals
Advantages

Beyond Static Scores. Beyond Guesswork.

Real-Time Quantification

Risk updates continuously as exposure conditions change, no more quarterly snapshots.

Exposure-Driven

Likelihood from live data, eliminating subjective scenario workshops entirely.

Multi-Domain Telemetry

Unified ingestion across attack surface, network, app, identity, and vendor ecosystems.

Explainable AI

Constrained reasoning, every output is traceable, auditable, and stakeholder-ready.

Business Context

Technical findings mapped to financial loss, regulatory exposure, and operational disruption.

Third-Party Integrated

Vendor and supply-chain risk quantified into enterprise-wide intelligence.

Innovation

Key Novel Contributions

Patent-grade innovations that distinguish DRIM from all existing frameworks.

Exposure-Triggered Recalculation

Risk is recalculated on every exposure state transition, not on schedules or manual triggers. State changes in attack surface, controls, or threat intelligence automatically produce new risk intelligence.

Dual-Layer Confidence Modeling

Uniquely separates detection confidence from risk confidence, allowing stakeholders to understand not just the risk value, but the reliability of both the underlying data and the quantification itself.

Constrained AI Explainability

AI modules are bound by strict operational constraints: no numeric generation, exclusive reliance on structured inputs, and mandatory traceable reasoning artifacts, producing audit-ready intelligence, not black-box outputs.

Unified Multi-Domain Quantification

Internal exposures, third-party vendor risk, and supply-chain concentration risk are all quantified within a single deterministic framework, not siloed tools producing incompatible outputs.
