Real-time cybersecurity status system with event ticker

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, wherein the computer-executable instructions configure a computing system to at least:

• generate a plurality of data streams based at least partly on scanning a target network, wherein a first data stream of the plurality of data streams comprises data representing characteristics of devices on the target network, wherein a second data stream of the plurality of data streams comprises data representing events detected on the target network, and wherein a third data stream of the plurality of data streams comprises data representing vulnerabilities associated with devices on the target network;
• generate processed scan data based at least partly on the plurality of data streams;
• generate vulnerability data based on the processed scan data, wherein the vulnerability data comprises data regarding a plurality of vulnerabilities, and wherein each vulnerability of the plurality of vulnerabilities is associated with a severity level of a severity hierarchy;
• present a first selectable element visually representing a first quantity of vulnerabilities associated with a first severity level, and a second selectable element visually representing a second quantity of vulnerabilities associated with a second severity level;
• identify a cybersecurity assessment framework against which the target network is to be assessed;
• determine an initial score for one or more cybersecurity factors associated with the cybersecurity assessment framework;
• determine an adjustment for one or more of the determined initial scores based at least partly on the processed scan data, wherein a first adjustment to a first initial score is determined by applying a set of rules, associated with a first cybersecurity factor, to a subset of the processed scan data;
• generate an overall cybersecurity score based at least partly on applying the determined adjustments to the determined initial scores;
• and
• present a visual representation of the overall cybersecurity score.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• as implemented by a computing system comprising one or more computer processors configured to execute specific instructions:
• generating a plurality of scan data streams, wherein individual scan data streams of the plurality of scan data streams comprise cybersecurity data generated based at least partly on scanning a target network;
• generating vulnerability data based on at least one of the plurality of scan data streams, wherein the vulnerability data comprises data regarding a plurality of vulnerabilities, and wherein each vulnerability of the plurality of vulnerabilities is associated with a severity level of a severity hierarchy;
• identifying a set of cybersecurity factors based at least partly on the target network;
• determining a score for each cybersecurity factor, wherein a first score for a first cybersecurity factor is based at least partly on an initial score, a score adjustment algorithm, and the plurality of scan data streams;
• determining a cybersecurity status score based at least partly on the determined scores for each cybersecurity factor;
• and
• generating a graphical user interface configured to:
• display a first selectable element visually representing a first quantity of vulnerabilities associated with a first severity level, and a second selectable element visually representing a second quantity of vulnerabilities associated with a second severity level;
• display the set of cybersecurity factors as one or more cybersecurity factor representations;
• display the cybersecurity status score as a cybersecurity status score representation;
• and
• dynamically change the cybersecurity status score representation based at least partly on a set of cybersecurity status scores over a period of time.
