1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory;
the at least one processing device being configured to perform steps of:
identifying a given one of one or more assets in an information technology infrastructure associated with a support indicator, the support indicator being associated with a priority level;
obtaining information characterizing state transitions of the one or more assets in the information technology infrastructure;
determining, based at least in part on a current state of the given asset identified utilizing the obtained information, two or more asset transition probabilities for the given asset, a first one of the two or more asset transition probabilities characterizing probability of the given asset transitioning to a first one of a plurality of states, a second one of the two or more asset transition probabilities characterizing probability of the given asset transitioning to a second one of the plurality of states different than the first one of the plurality of states, the first state being associated with a first one of two or more types of failure, and the second state being associated with a second one of the two or more types of failure, the second type of failure being different than the first type of failure, the two or more types of failure being associated with respective different failure severities;
selecting, based at least in part on the determined two or more asset transition probabilities, a given one of the plurality of states as a predicted future state of the given asset utilizing conformal prediction, the conformal prediction characterizing relative rankings of (i) the determined first asset transition probability for the given asset among a first set of possible asset transition probabilities for transitioning to the first state and (ii) the determined second asset transition probability for the given asset among a second set of possible asset transition probabilities for transitioning to the second state; and
modifying the priority level of the support indicator associated with the given asset based at least in part on a given one of the two or more types of failure associated with the predicted future state of the given asset.
