Abstract

A method includes scanning a plurality of hosts in a computer network to obtain, during a predetermined time period, risk information of each instance of vulnerability associated with at least one host of the plurality of hosts, wherein the risk information comprises a common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) score, an exploitability measurement and a measurement parameter of identified link to one or more bad actors associated with the at least one host, calculating, for the at least one host, a vulnerability risk score (VRS) for each instance of the vulnerability of the at least one host based on the associated risk information, obtaining a representative VRS based at least in part on the VRS for each instance of vulnerability of the at least one host, and facilitating at least one security action based on the representative VRS.
