Claim 2:
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the computing, based on the first set of variables and the first set of tunable parameters, the likelihood of exploiting the vulnerability in the computer system involves using an extensible formula with one or more numerator factors and one or more denominator factors; wherein the one or more numerator factors corresponds to a first subset of variables in the first set of variables that contribute to increasing the likelihood of exploiting the respective vulnerability which is denoted as:

(1−e−cN·ƒN(xN));

wherein cN denotes a tunable parameter; xN denotes a variable; and ƒN(xN) denotes a function of variable xN; and
wherein the one or more denominator factors corresponds to a second subset of variables in the first set of variables that contribute to decreasing the likelihood of exploiting the respective vulnerability which is denoted as:

e−cD·ƒD(xD);

wherein cD denotes a tunable parameter; xD denotes a variable; and ƒD(xD) denotes a function of variable xD.
