Abstract
A computer-implemented method for predicting security threat attacks may include (1) identifying candidate security threat targets with latent attributes that describe features of the candidate security threat targets, (2) identifying historical attack data that describes which of the candidate security threat targets experienced an actual security threat attack, (3) determining a similarity relationship between latent attributes of at least one specific candidate security threat target and latent attributes of the candidate security threat targets that experienced an actual security threat attack according to the historical attack data, (4) predicting, based on the determined similarity relationship, that the specific candidate security threat target will experience a future security threat attack, and (5) performing at least one remedial action to protect the specific candidate security threat target in response to predicting the future security threat attack. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
