Abstract
A method includes scanning a plurality of hosts in a network to obtain risk information of each instance of vulnerability associated with each host during a period, calculating a vulnerability risk score (VRS) for each instance of the vulnerability based on the associated risk information, determining a number of vulnerabilities associated with each of the plurality of hosts during the period, obtaining a criticality score of each of the plurality of hosts, obtaining for each host, a representative VRS based at least in part on the VRS for each instance of vulnerability associated with the host, calculating a host risk score (HRS) for each host based on the representative VRS, the number of vulnerabilities and the criticality score of the host, calculating a network risk score (NRS) for the network based on the HRSs, and facilitating a security action based on the HRS for each host and the NRS.
