A machine learning module is trained by receiving inputs comprising attributes of a computing environment, where the attributes affect a likelihood of failure in the computing environment. In response to an event occurring in the computing environment, a risk score that indicates a predicted likelihood of failure in the computing environment is generated via forward propagation through a plurality of layers of the machine learning module. A margin of error is calculated based on comparing the generated risk score to an expected risk score, where the expected risk score indicates an expected likelihood of failure in the computing environment corresponding to the event. An adjustment is made of weights of links that interconnect nodes of the plurality of layers via back propagation to reduce the margin of error, to improve the predicted likelihood of failure in the computing environment.
