Abstract
A method, system, and computer-usable medium for protecting against contagion-based risk events are disclosed for monitoring behavior of users to construct a contagion network relationship map of connection and influence relationships between different users and then analyzing a received stream of events from the users to identify a critical event performed by a first user having a first risk score so that one or more propagated risk scores can be generated from the first risk score for at least a first connected user based on connection and influence relationships between the first user and the first connected user that are extracted from the contagion network relationship so that an adaptive response may be automatically generated to protect and control against actions by at least the first connected user based on the one or more propagated risk scores.
