Methodology for Assessing the Risk Associated With Information and Knowledge Loss Management

Abstract

In practice, there is a massive time lag between data loss and its cause identification. The existing techniques perform it comprehensively, but they consume too much time, so there is a need for fast and reliable methods. The article’s purpose is to develop a rapid methodology to assess the risk of information and knowledge loss management. It provides the implementation of eight steps and combines a risk mapping method modified by assessments based on risk factors and incidents as elements from set theory and using formalization via binary estimates. The methodology includes five significant events caused by the company staff, technical problems, software, cybercriminals, viral attacks, and 66 factors influencing company incidents. As a result, a risk map of 9 groups was built for a Ukrainian enterprise. Only two groups with the minimum number of incidents and low losses are represented by all five incidents. The defined overall level of each risk group ranges from 0.14 to 0.26, which indicates a low probability of all happenings in the group. In general, the resulting map shows the existence of specific security problems of the company under investigation. The proposed assessment allows us to interpret the level of risk in the company quickly, identify weaknesses in the information security system, and predict future losses.

The impact of digital transformation on macroeconomic stability: Evidence from EU countries

“…Comparative analysis of the theoretical basis for assessing the level of digitalization of the economy (Biegun and Karwowski, 2020;Roszko-Wójtowicz and Grzelak, 2020;Zolkover and Renkas, 2020;Yarovenko et al, 2021) testified that the simplest and most effective way to accumulate information about the country's digital transformation is to use international indices developed by leading rating agencies. One of the most popular indexes is the Digital Evolution Index (DEI).…”

Neural network modeling of the economic and social development trajectory transformation due to quarantine restrictions during COVID-19

“…The scientists' achievements in the sustainable development of territorial units are relevant in current conditions because there is an essential strategic task of society to balance the development of different regions to overcome the crisis is (Petrushenko et al, 2017, Stukalo et al, 2020. The appropriateness of applying modern mathematical methods to forecast economic phenomena is substantiated in many scientific studies (Teletov et al, 2019;Rosokhata et al, 2020;Vasilyeva et al, 2020;Yarovenko et al, 2021). Such scientists as Hruschka (1993), Luxhoy et al (1996), Morozov et al (2020), Vrbka (2020) are working to develop certain specific issues regarding the neural networks in the socio-economic sphere to define the drivers for further development of individual economic entities and countries as a whole.…”

Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment Policies in the Agrarian Sector using Business Continuity Data

“…Kamilaris et al [17] state that open and free to access agricultural big data volumes could "create tremendous opportunities for research and development towards smarter and more sustainable farming." Finally, the need to associate knowledge and information management with risk assessment has been underlined in the business field [20] in general and in the agricultural area [21] in particular when agricultural risk management policies are combined with business continuity data. Risk mitigation agricultural research results related to the COVID-19 have been also published.…”
