Abstract
Analyzing security risk in a computer network includes receiving an event associated with a selected object in the computer network, and determining an object risk level for the selected object based at least in part on an event risk level of the event received, wherein the event risk level accounts for intrinsic risk that depends at least in part on the event that is received and source risk that depends at least in part on a source from which the event originated.
Claims20
A method of analyzing security risk in a computer network comprising:
- receiving an event associated with a selected object in the computer network;
- determining an object risk level for the selected object based at least in part on an event risk level of the event received;
- wherein
- the event risk level accounts for intrinsic risk that depends at least in part on the event that is received and source risk that depends at least in part on a source from which the event originated.
A system for analyzing security risk in a computer network comprising, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive an event associated with a selected object in the computer network;
- determine an object risk level for the selected object based at least in part on an event risk level of the event received;
- wherein the event risk level accounts for intrinsic risk that depends at least in part on the event that is received and source risk that depends at least in part on a source from which the event originated;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions.
A computer program product for analyzing security risk in a computer network, the computer program product being embodied in a computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving an event associated with a selected object in the computer network;
- determining an object risk level for the selected object based at least in part on an event risk level of the event received;
- wherein
- the event risk level accounts for intrinsic risk that depends at least in part on the event that is received and source risk that depends at least in part on a source from which the event originated.
