Claim One:
1. A method of determining risk associated with a computer technology, comprising: identifying, by a computing device, a plurality of vulnerability occurrences associated with the computer technology; determining, by the computing device, a number of vulnerability occurrences of the plurality of vulnerability occurrences associated with the computer technology over a predetermined period of time; assigning, by the computing device, a weighted value to each of the determined vulnerability occurrences to determine a weighted vulnerability occurrence score, wherein the weighted value corresponds to a time period within the predetermined time period that each of the determined vulnerability occurrences occurred, wherein a weight of the weighted value assigned to the determined vulnerability occurrences is higher for vulnerability occurrences that occur in a first time period and lower for vulnerability occurrences that occur in a second time period; determining, by the computing device, a severity of each of the determined vulnerability occurrences associated with the computer technology; determining, by the computing device, an average severity for the determined vulnerability occurrences associated with the computer technology; combining, by the computing device, the weighted vulnerability occurrence score with the determined average severity to determine a vulnerability security score for the computer technology; and comparing, by the computing device, the determined vulnerability security score with determined vulnerability security scores for another computer technology for the predetermined period of time.
