10.4. Understanding Risk

The calculation of risk is an estimation based on policies you have created, the threat levels of those policies, and any associated violations.

  • High (Red) is considered a critical risk and is a count of policy violations with threat level of 8-10, multiplied by 100.
  • Medium (Orange) is considered a sever risk and is a count of policy violations with a threat level of 5-7, multiplied by 20.
  • Low (Yellow) is considered a moderate risk and is a count of policy violations with a threat level of 1-4, multiplied by 5.
  • None (Blue) is considered no risk, and means only policies with an assigned threat level of 0 have been violated.
