Abstract
A system and method for setting alert thresholds related to cybersecurity ratings of one or more affiliate entities. An example method includes: obtaining entity data including cybersecurity event data for an affiliate entity; calculating a time-series cybersecurity rating for the affiliate entity based on the entity data; associating an alert reporting threshold with the time-series cybersecurity rating, wherein a comparison of the alert reporting threshold to the time-series cybersecurity rating determines a number of alerts reported for the affiliate entity; applying an alternative alert reporting threshold against the time-series cybersecurity rating to determine an alternative number of alerts reported for the affiliate entity; and updating the alert reporting threshold for the time-series cybersecurity rating to the alternative alert reporting threshold.
