Threat risks to an enterprise are detected and assessed by assembling singular threats identified using both direct and behavioral threat indicators into composite threats to create complex use cases across multiple domains, and to amplify risks along kill chains of known attacks for early detection. Composite threat risk scores are computed from risk scores of singular threats to exponentially increase with the number of events observed along the kill chain. Composite threats are combined with normalized values of static risk and inherent risk for an entity of the enterprise to produce an entity risk score representative of the overall risk to the entity.
