Every second counts in cybersecurity. Graylog Risk Management helps you detect, assess, and mitigate threats before they become breaches. With automated risk scoring, real-time intelligence, and powerful visualizations, you get a clear picture of your security posture—so you can act fast and with confidence.
Graylog’s risk management functions as a multi-layered safeguard against internal and external threats. Graylog constantly monitors for predefined or anomalous patterns, and creates alerts with risk scoring for flagging any matches for immediate attention. Users can ingest Vulnerability Scanners to find risky assets and utilize the field actions menu to drill down on the flagged data, perform inline actions, and quickly understand the scope of a threat.
Asset risk scores offer a broader view of security posture by providing a clear, prioritized risk rating for each asset. Instead of sorting through countless security events, you can quickly identify high-risk assets, enabling more efficient investigations.
Assets—whether users or machines—are assigned risk scores based on security posture. For machines, vulnerability scan data is factored in, ensuring a complete risk evaluation.

Graylog calculates event risk scores using log severity, event priority, and asset priority. Higher severity logs and priority settings increase risk scores, while anomaly detectors and Sigma Rules assign scores based on severity and confidence.
To get a full picture of risk, logs need to be linked to assets. Set priority levels for assets and events to highlight critical risks. Illuminate for Graylog Security automates this, ensuring accurate risk calculations.

Risk management prioritizes threats so security teams can focus on the most critical issues first, reducing noise and improving investigation efficiency.
Risk scoring ranks threats based on severity, shrinking 99.9% of security noise so analysts can concentrate on high-risk incidents instead of low-priority alerts.
Asset-based risk scoring assigns risk levels to IT assets, using vulnerability scan data to help teams prioritize investigations on high-risk machines and users.
Graylog calculates risk scores by evaluating log severity, event priority, and anomaly detection (via Sigma rules), ensuring critical alerts stand out.
Graylog ingests Tenable Nessus & Microsoft Defender scans to correlate vulnerabilities with threat data against your assets, helping security teams focus on real security risks and speed up response.
Graylog automates threat correlation, flagging malicious IPs, domains, and hashes from real-time intelligence feeds, minimizing false positives and accelerating incident response.
Automated risk scoring prioritizes high-risk threats, reduces false alarms, and helps teams speed up response to critical security issues.
Real-time intelligence, anomaly detection, and risk scoring allow security teams to identify and investigate critical threats 60% faster, speeding up response and containment.
The Threat Coverage widget maps security gaps using the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix, helping teams see where protection is strong and where improvements are needed.
