On Tuesday, the NUS Centre for Research in Privacy Technologies (N-CRiPT) under NUS Computing signed a research collaboration agreement with Singapore-based cyber intelligence firm Cyber Intelligence House (CIH) to develop a cyber risk index to show how exposed different industries around the world are to cyber threats.

By using up to 200 variables and mapping threats collected from the dark web and deep web, N-CRiPT and CIH will utilise the most pertinent variables to create powerful and detailed risk indexes.
