A computer-implemented method for assessing cyber risks using incident-origin information may include (1) receiving a request for a cyber-risk assessment of an entity of interest, (2) using an Internet-address data source that maps identifiers of entities to public Internet addresses of the entities to translate an identifier of the entity into a set of Internet addresses of the entity, (3) using an incident-origin data source that maps externally-detected security incidents to public Internet addresses from which the security incidents originated to translate the set of Internet addresses into a set of security incidents that originated from the entity, and (4) using the set of security incidents to generate the cyber-risk assessment of the entity. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media may have similar features.

The disclosed computer-implemented method for profiling client systems may include (1) identifying one or more administrative categories used to categorize clients according to system profiles of the clients, (2) collecting attribute information that associates one or more client attributes with the administrative category, (3) generating, based at least in part on the association between the client attribute and the administrative category, an association scoring protocol that estimates an association strength between clients and the administrative category, (4) assigning, based on the association scoring protocol, an association score to one or more clients, (5) determining, based on the association score being above a threshold, that the client should be associated with the administrative category, and (6) initiating one or more customized administrative actions for the client, based at least in part by the association of the client with the administrative category. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
