CyberGreen will improve cyber health by enhancing collaboration between key stakeholders in cyberspace. CyberGreen seeks to accomplish its mission by having established a reliable platform for generating cross-comparable statistics and information sharing mechanisms to enable operational cyber remediation efforts that can be used to provide insight into systemic risk conditions in the cyber ecosystem.
CyberGreen’s driving concept originated from approaching cybersecurity from a public health perspective. Internet security incidents are symptoms of underlying problems. By identifying the root causes of these problems and treating them we can make large-scale improvements to Internet security. One of CyberGreen’s primary objectives is to aggregate and display metrics for cyber risk observed on the Internet for use by all parties involved in improving health of the system. Creating transparency in the cybersecurity environment will foster global collaborative efforts to assess risk and act to clean up cyberspace proactively, rather than reacting to malicious activity once it becomes a chronic disease. Just as the public health system improves life conditions, CyberGreen is doing the same for life on the Internet.
