Securboration has been awarded a contract by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop the RIsk QUantification and ESTimation (RIQUEST) system to extend the state-of-the art in automatic risk disclosure quantification by applying probabilistic inference to sets of sensitive information. This effort follows a successful proof-of-concept where RIQUEST was applied to a novel use-case that highlighted the system's potential. Similar to the previous work, this effort will focus on three areas that are essential for auto-risk disclosure: Text Analytics, Probabilistic Inference; and Causal Analysis. By making technological advancements in each, Securboration will create a unique and innovative system that performs auto-risk disclosure by ingesting data from multiple heterogeneous data streams, extracting information pertinent to the a piece of sensitive information from those streams, quantifying impacts that the discovered information have on the overall security posture of the sensitive information, and providing complete traceability and transparency into the disclosure risk causes for sensitive information. These capabilities will be developed as a robust, potent and modular set of auto-risk services that can seamlessly integrate with a variety of systems with the eventual goal of transitioning to operational systems.
