• Authors: Wing Fung Chong, Runhuan Feng, Hins Hu, Linfeng Zhang,
• Abstract summary: This paper introduces a two-pillar cyber risk management framework to address the pervasive challenges in managing cyber risk. The first pillar, cyber risk assessment, combines insurance frequency-severity models with cybersecurity cascade models to capture the unique nature of cyber risk. The second pillar, cyber capital management, facilitates informed allocation of capital for a balanced cyber risk management strategy.

• Abstract: This paper introduces a two-pillar cyber risk management framework to address the pervasive challenges in managing cyber risk. The first pillar, cyber risk assessment, combines insurance frequency-severity models with cybersecurity cascade models to capture the unique nature of cyber risk. The second pillar, cyber capital management, facilitates informed allocation of capital for a balanced cyber risk management strategy, including cybersecurity investments, insurance coverage, and reserves. A case study, based on historical cyber incident data and realistic assumptions, demonstrates the necessity of comprehensive cost-benefit analysis for budget-constrained companies with competing objectives in cyber risk management. In addition, sensitivity analysis highlights the dependence of the optimal strategy on factors such as the price of cybersecurity controls and their effectiveness. The framework's implementation across a diverse range of companies yields general insights on cyber risk management.

  We argue in favour of switching the attention from goodness-of-fit and in-sample performance, to focusing on the out-of sample forecasting performance. Our results indicate that business motivated cyber risk classifications appear to be too restrictive and not flexible enough to capture the heterogeneity of cyber risk events.

  Embodied artificial intelligence (EAI) integrates advanced AI models into physical entities for real-world interaction. Foundation models as the "brain" of EAI agents for high-level task planning have shown promising results. However, the deployment of these agents in physical environments presents significant safety challenges. This study introduces EARBench, a novel framework for automated physical risk assessment in EAI scenarios.

  The explosive growth of cyber attacks nowadays, such as malware, spam, and intrusions, caused severe consequences on society. Traditional Machine Learning (ML) based methods are extensively used in detecting cyber threats, but they hardly model the correlations between real-world cyber entities. With the proliferation of graph mining techniques, many researchers investigated these techniques for capturing correlations between cyber entities and achieving high performance.

  In risk-averse reinforcement learning (RL), the goal is to optimize some risk measure of the returns. We prove that under certain conditions this inevitably leads to a local-optimum barrier, and propose a soft risk mechanism to bypass it. We demonstrate improved risk aversion in maze navigation, autonomous driving, and resource allocation benchmarks.
