Description

We're adding a new modifier to Risk Scoring which takes into account whether a user entity is being tracked as a Privileged User.
On calculating an entity's risk score, we first calculate a sum based on aggregated alerts for said entity. In a subsequent phase, we apply bayesian updates, with modifiers based on different criteria such as Asset Criticality and now Privileged User status.

When

9.3 for Milestone 1

Why

A "privileged user status" is an inherently risky attribute for a user to have as such users naturally have access to more mission-critical systems within an organisation.
This must be factored in to provide more accurate monitoring of an Entity's risk score.
