Claim 16:
17. One or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing computer readable instructions, which when executed by a computer cause the computer to:
produce a risk score based at least in part on a vulnerability component for an object within the computing environment, wherein the vulnerability component comprises at least an age component, wherein the risk score follows a model of:
from a minimum value for the age component, increasing to a local maxima as the age component reaches a first predetermined age,
decreasing to a local minima as the age component approaches a second predetermined age from the first predetermined age, the second predetermined age being greater than the first predetermined age, and
increasing as the age component increases past the second predetermined age;

produce a signal score indicating a factor that contributes to risk for the object; and
combine the risk score and the signal score to produce a combined risk score indicating a risk level associated with at least one vulnerability of the computing system object.
