PRIORITIZING SECURITY RISKS FOR A COMPUTER SYSTEM BASED ON HISTORICAL EVENTS COLLECTED FROM THE COMPUTER SYSTEM ENVIRONMENT

A method of identifying security risks in a computer system that includes several computers executing different applications is provided. The method receives event data about threat events associated with a set of applications executing on a set of computers in the computer system. The method, for each event, compares a set of parameters associated with the event with a set of historical parameters maintained for a similar event. The method, based on the comparisons, defines a normality characterization for each event to express a probability of an exploit of the application associated with the event. The method, based on the normality characterization, defines a prioritized display of security risks due to the threat events associated with the set of application.
