Abstract

Techniques for categorizing and prioritizing security issues is disclosed. A security management system is implemented to receive security events describing potential security issues from clients. The security events contain attributes describing the security issue, affected resources, and a risk score defining a level of security risk associated with the event. The security events may be aggregated into a set of recommendation categories based on the type of security issue to be remedied. Aggregated risk scores may be computed for each of the recommendation categories. The security management system causes displaying of a graphical user interface to display information representing the set of recommendation categories. User input may be received selecting a particular recommendation category. In response to selecting the particular recommendation category, recommendation instruction options are displayed for remedying the events within the particular recommendation category.
