Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for dynamically performing entity-specific security assessments for entities of virtualized network environments. Techniques include identifying an entity associated with a virtualized network environment, identifying a plurality of security factors, determining entity-specific weights to the plurality of security factors, and generating a composite exposure assessment for the entity. Further techniques include selecting at least two security factors of the plurality of security factors, identifying the weights corresponding to the selected security factors, and calculating the composite exposure assessment using the selected security factors and corresponding weights, analyzing the composite exposure assessment, and generating at least one of: a security recommendation based on the analysis to alter a scope of privileges of the entity, a notification providing an indication of the composite exposure assessment, or a visual representation of the composite exposure assessment of the entity.
