Risk Modeling

The Ellis Research Institute is currently developing both risk modeling algorithms as well as software to support easy access to organizations wishing to better understand their current posture. These models can be flexibly adopted to both offensive and defensive use cases of all sizes and are designed to produce easy to consume guidance on big picture approaches to cyber security. Organizations wishing to be included in early testing are encouraged to reach out to <insert contact here> for more information.

Ability to use existing frameworks (e.g. MITRE) as well as generic frameworks we developed

Asymmetry in Cyber Security

A significant focus has been placed on how cyber operations can provide asymmetric benefits to attackers, offering lower entry barriers for organizations looking to leverage this domain. Less focus has been placed on the core asymmetries inherent in these operations, on both the offensive and defensive sides, which can be used to govern strategies for these organizations. The Ellis Research Institute is currently developing an asymmetry-based strategy which helps to focus organizations on key areas where they can embrace positive asymmetries, defend against negative asymmetries, or need to avoid immutable asymmetries.
