CyVar: Extending Var-At-Risk to ICT
نویسندگان
چکیده
CyVar extends the Value-At-Risk statistics to ICT systems under attack by intelligent, goal oriented agents. CyVar is related to the time it takes an agent to acquire some access privileges and to the one it owns these privileges. To evaluate the former time, we use the security stress, a synthetic measure of the robustness of an ICT system. We approximate this measure through the Haruspex suite, an integrated set of tools that supports ICT risk assessment and management. After defining CyVar, we show how it supports the evaluation of three versions of an industrial control system.

Model Risk of Expected Shortfall
In this paper we study the model risk of Expected Shortfall (ES), extending the results of Boucher et al. (2014) on model risk of Value-at-Risk (VaR). We propose a correction formula for ES based on passing three backtests. Our results show that for the DJIA index, the smallest corrections are required for the ES estimates built using GARCH models. Furthermore, the 2.5% ES requires smaller corr...
متن کاملEstimation of Value at Risk (VaR) Based On Lévy-GARCH Models: Evidence from Tehran Stock Exchange
This paper aims to estimate the Value-at-Risk (VaR) using GARCH type models with improved return distribution. Value at Risk (VaR) is an essential benchmark for measuring the risk of financial markets quantitatively. The parametric method, historical simulation, and Monte Carlo simulation have been proposed in several financial mathematics and engineering studies to calculate VaR, that each of ...

متن کاملValue at Risk Estimation using the Kappa Distribution with Application to Insurance Data
The heavy tailed distributions have mostly been used for modeling the financial data. The kappa distribution has higher peak and heavier tail than the normal distribution. In this paper, we consider the estimation of the three unknown parameters of a Kappa distribution for evaluating the value at risk measure. The value at risk (VaR) as a quantile of a distribution is one of the import...
متن کاملAn Examination of the Relationship between Values at Risk and Expected Stock Return in Tehran’s Stock Exchange
Abstract The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between Value at Risk (VaR) and expected returns from 2002 to 2013 in Tehran’s Stock Exchange. In this study parametric value at risk, which considers the distribution of returns as normal and the historical value at risk as abnormal, was used to test the presence of the volatility anomaly in the companies listed i...
