Abstract:

Cybersecurity risk assessment is an important part of building a cyberspace security system, which can effectively protect individuals and organizations from the risk of cybersecurity attacks.This study briefly outlines the theory of cybersecurity risk assessment, emphatically introduces the current mainstream cybersecurity risk assessment methods, and classifies and compares the existing methods according to their different nature, analyzes the advantages, disadvantages and application scope of each method.On this basis, this study summarizes and extracts the factors that have an impact on the cybersecurity assessment results and proposes future research priorities in the field of cybersecurity assessment. The analysis results show that the three factors of correlation, uncertainty of assessment indexes and real-time of assessment process are the main factors affecting the effect of risk assessment, and it provides a reference for the research of risk assessment methods in the future.

Key words: risk assessment, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, index system, evaluation models, correlation, real-time, uncertainty
