Abstract
A computer security monitoring system and method are disclosed that feature, in one general aspect, monitoring on an ongoing basis for evidence of the presence of infected systems in one or more networks that are each associated with a monitored organizational entity possessing digital assets, continuously updating risk profiles for the entities based on information about intrusion features from the monitoring, aggregating risk scores for the entities, and electronically reporting the aggregated risk score to an end user. In another general aspect, a method is disclosed that includes acquiring and storing data relating to interactions with malware controllers over a public network, acquiring and storing a map of relationships between networks connected to the public network, extracting risk data from the stored interaction data and the stored relationship map by cross-referencing the acquired interaction data against the map of relationships, and issuing security alerts based the extracted risk data.
