Claim One:
1. A system for determining exposure of an apparatus to a technical hazard, the apparatus comprising: a memory; a processor; and a module stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to: receive information associated with one or more technical hazards from one or more specialized computer hardware comprising integrated chips operatively connected to the apparatus, wherein the one or more specialized computer hardware is internally attached to the apparatus, wherein being internally attached comprises being attached to an integrated circuit board in the apparatus; determine an impact associated with the one or more technical hazards on the apparatus, the impact being initiated by a second apparatus, wherein the impact is further based on determining how the one or more technical hazards are triggered, state of technical processes for triggering the one or more technical hazards, how to measure the existence of the one or more technical hazards if they are triggered, a number of historical instances of the technical hazard over a period of time, and measurement of potential loss if the one or more technical hazards are triggered; determine an access type associated with the second apparatus's access to the first apparatus, wherein the access type is associated with at least an authentication level; determine a probability of occurrence of the technical hazard based on at least the access type and the number of historical instances of the technical hazard over a period of time; determine the exposure of the apparatus based on the impact and the probability, wherein determining the exposure of the apparatus further comprises determining a relative exposure of each of the one or more technical hazards relative to each other based on at least a complexity level associated with the one or more technical hazards to thereby determine a priority for each of the one or more technical hazards; and generate a graphical illustration of an exposure priority chart associated with the apparatus, wherein the exposure priority chart illustrates the impact and probability for each of the technical hazards associated with the apparatus.
