Abstract
A method in an illustrative embodiment comprises receiving a plurality of indicators relating to an entity of a computer network, arranging the indicators in a plurality of categories of increasing risk, assigning weights to the indicators in the categories as a function of the number of categories and the number of indicators in each category, generating a risk score for the indicators based at least in part on the assigned weights, and initiating at least one automated action relating to the entity of the computer network based at least in part on the risk score. The risk score generation is configured such that a weighted contribution to the risk score of indicators in a relatively low one of the categories decreases as a number of indicators in a relatively high one of the categories increases. Similarly, a weighted contribution to the risk score of indicators in a relatively low one of the categories increases as a number of indicators in a relatively high one of the categories decreases.
