Claim One:
1. A method for remote-computing-asset-security management comprising: defining a plurality of assets, each asset of the plurality of assets representing computing facilities corresponding to a particular geographic region chosen to promote competition between divisions of a business to improve computing-asset-security management; receiving, by a global server, security data from the plurality of assets; generating, by the global server, an individual security metric value for each of multiple individual security metrics for each of the plurality of assets according to an evaluation of the security data; receiving, by the global server, change costs entailed by changes in corresponding individual security metric values for a particular asset of the plurality of assets and priority definitions, ranking, by priority, individual security metrics for the particular asset to which the priority definitions correspond; computing, by the global server, a change recommendation for risk reduction according to the change costs; computing an aggregate score for each of the plurality of assets by aggregating the corresponding individual security metric values, weighted relative to the priority definitions; displaying, at a terminal of the particular asset, the change recommendation with the change costs and the priority definitions of the corresponding individual security metrics of the particular asset, enabling resource allocation decisions; and displaying, also at the terminal, the aggregate score for each of the plurality of assets to promote competition through gamification.
