CyberSure: A Framework for Liability Based Trust

CyberSure is a programme of collaborations and exchanges between researchers aimed at developing a framework for creating and managing cyber insurance policy for cyber systems. Creating such policies will enhance the trustworthiness of cyber systems and provide a sound basis for liability in cases of security and privacy breaches in them. The framework is supported by a platform of tools enabling an integrated risk cyber system security risk analysis, certification and cyber insurance, based on the analysis of objective evidence during the operation of such systems. CyberSure develops its cyber insurance platform by building upon and integrating state of the art tools, methods and techniques. The development of the CyberSure platform is driven by certification, risk analysis and cyber insurance scenarios for cyber system pilots providing cloud and e-health services. Through these, CyberSure addresses the conditions required for offering effective cyber insurance for interoperable service chains cutting across application domains and jurisdictions.
