CONTROL ASSESSMENT SYSTEMS, METHODS AND PROGRAM PRODUCTS

Abstract: methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for improving a network by modeling control strength of network nodes. design and implementation (dis) scores are calculated for each of a plurality of nodes. an initial strength (initcs) corresponding to any control performed by the node is determined. n-subgraphs are generated based on a network graph. for each node in the subgraph of the n-subgraphs, a modified control strength (modcs) corresponding to a combination of the initcs, a weakening factor derived from a combination of a modcs of a plurality of upstream nodes, and a reliance coefficient (rc) of each node-to-node relationship of the plurality of upstream nodes, is determined. a risk mitigation process is performed based, in part, on any one or a combination of: dis, initcs and modcs.
