Abstract: Techniques for assessing a computing risk of an entity based on a social media footprint of that user. Social media accounts of an entity are identified. Queries are executed against the accounts to determine a social media footprint the entity has based on engagements with those accounts. The footprint reflects at least how much information associated with the entity has been exposed as a result of the engagements with those accounts. Based on the footprint, a risk score for the entity is developed. The risk score reflects a determined amount of computing risk the entity has with regard to potential malicious use of exposed entity information. Based on the risk score, mitigation operations are performed in an attempt to reduce the risk score.
