Cyber risk quantification as a really neat use case of building out a custom annotation toolchain and methodology to bootstrap a dataset you’ve aggregated -- how to dedup, clean up, and annotate with new features. buff.ly/2RVfUMH
This post shares a method and toolchain for human annotation on top of aggregation to bootstrap data for cyber risk quantification. Curious about scaling this to an open community effort; anyone seen something like that work? cc @CISecurity @FAIRInstitute buff.ly/2RVfUMH
Second in the series as we open our cyber risk dataset; how we bootstrapped more robust breach records with an annotation toolchain for @CISecurity controls and loss info for modeling severity to drive @FAIRInstitute Cyber Risk Quantification models buff.ly/2RVfUMH

Deep learning on big dense data has been a bigger focus in the ML community recently, but problems like Cyber Insurance with small sparse data require Bayesian methods. Details here medium.com/@towerstreetHQ/ba…

hello friends @CISecurity we have just released a new cybersecurity risk dataset which includes human annotated CIS controls affected at time of breach. Maybe this could be helpful for an upcoming CIS controls revision? medium.com/@towerstreetHQ/th…

Security, Risk, and Insurance Peoples: Cost-per-record is a pretty limited model for losses stemming from security incidents. We’re looking for feedback on our industry-specific incident loss modeling. Please share comments on our white paper medium.com/@towerstreetHQ/lo…

Cost-per-record isn’t a legit model to unlock real capacity in the cyber insurance market. We’ve researched around cyber loss costs and summarised in a white paper we want to continuously improve. Please send us your comments and feedback. buff.ly/2F2spAL

The world's largest insurance and reinsurance balance sheets might like to take on more cyber risk, but they can’t without industry-specific modeling on both the security side and on the financial side. buff.ly/2F2vIba

the $690M in losses announced so far may grow over time. a new bill proposed by warren and others "would have resulted in a $1.5 billion penalty after the Equifax breach revealed in 2017, the bill’s sponsors estimate." fastcompany.com/90345659/eli…
