    •  Article PDF

    The main purpose of this paper is to offer a data-driven approach to assess cyber risk and to ensure appropriate confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A study presents the decision hierarchical model of cyber security risk assessment based on AHP methodology and describes a quantitative measure for evaluating and ranking security incidents. It can be used to conduct cost-benefit analysis, design and optimize cybersecurity in the systems.
