Visualization of security risks

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions executable by a processor of a computing device for visualization of security risks, the machine-readable storage medium comprising:

• instructions to obtain counts of security risks found in a plurality of applications, the obtained counts comprising a count of security risks associated with each of a plurality of severity levels found in each application of the plurality of applications;
• instructions to identify top N applications of the plurality of applications by sorting the plurality of applications in accordance with their respective counts of security risks associated with each of the plurality of severity levels in descending order;
• instructions to determine, based on the obtained counts, a first maximum count of security risks associated with a first severity level of the plurality of severity levels found in the top N applications;
• and
• instructions to determine a bar length of a bar to be included in a bar graph based on the first maximum count and a first count of security risks associated with the first severity level found in a first application of the top N applications, the bar graph divided into a plurality of bar sections, a first bar section of the plurality of bar sections associated with the first severity level and a second bar section of the plurality of bar sections associated with a second severity level that is lower in severity than the first severity level, wherein the bar length of the bar is determined by including at least a total length of the second bar section.

A system for visualization of security risks comprising:

• a processor that:
• obtains counts of security risks found in a plurality of applications, the obtained counts comprising a count of security risks associated with each of a plurality of severity levels found in each application of the plurality of applications;
• determines top N applications of the plurality of applications based on the obtained counts;
• determines a first maximum count of security risks associated with a first severity level of the plurality of severity levels found in the top N applications;
• and
• determines a bar length of a first bar to be included in a bar graph based on dividing a first count of security risks associated with the first severity level found in a first application of the top N applications by the first maximum count, the bar graph divided into a plurality of bar sections, a first bar section of the plurality of bar sections corresponding to the first severity level and a second bar section of the plurality of bar sections corresponding to a second severity level that is lower in severity than the first severity level, wherein the bar length of the first bar is determined by including at least a total length of the second bar section.
