Abstract: A method of identifying security risks in a computer system that includes several computers executing different applications is provided. The method receives event data about threat events associated with a set of applications executing on a set of computers in the computer system. The method, for each event, compares a set of parameters associated with the event with a set of historical parameters maintained for a similar event. The method, based on the comparisons, defines a normality characterization for each event to express a probability of an exploit of the application associated with the event. The method, based on the normality characterization, defines a prioritized display of security risks due to the threat events associated with the set of application.

Abstract: A method of determining a monetary loss due to security risks associated with a plurality of applications executing on a plurality of computers in a computer system is provided. The method assigns a set of loss levels from a plurality of loss levels to each application. Each loss level in the set of loss levels corresponds to a different type of risk associated to an application. The method define a presentation that identifies a total monetary residual risk of loss due to security risks for the plurality of applications by assigning a monetary value to the set of loss levels assigned to each application. The method receives an adjustment to a loss level for at least one application. The method defines a presentation that identifies a revised total monetary residual risk of loss based on the adjustment to said at least one loss level.

Abstract: A method of monitoring tasks for reducing security risks in a computer system comprising a plurality of computers executing a plurality of applications is provided. The method based on a set of login information, displays a set of risks for a set of applications that execute on the plurality of computers and an identification of a person in a hierarchy supervised by the logged-in person assigned to mitigate each risk. The method also displays the current status of each assigned mitigation.
