Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for analyzing risk at an individual or at an organizational level using an adaptive risk analysis engine, the method comprising: receiving a request for a risk analysis; retrieving factual information about both human and machine behavior from at least one online source and at least one offline source, said sources comprising at least one database source and at least one unstructured source; detecting, using a processor running the adaptive risk analysis engine, a pattern in said retrieved factual information; producing via induction a risk indicator from said detected pattern; determining, using the adaptive risk analysis engine, a risk indicator pattern from the produced risk indicator, wherein the adaptive risk analysis engine uses a risk policy defining threats faced by an organization to determine a risk to be asserted and at least one factor that mitigates or exacerbates the asserted risk; mapping, using the adaptive risk analysis engine, said risk indicator pattern and produce a risk factor, wherein the adaptive risk analysis engine dynamically consults a risk ontology; assessing a level of risk based on the risk factor; constructing impact, internal threat, and external threat parameters; and determining, based upon said threat parameters, whether reporting conditions have been met and when met producing a risk assessment report.
