== How is risk score calculated?

The risk scoring engine runs hourly to aggregate `Open` and `Acknowledged` alerts from the last 30 days. It groups alerts by `host.name` or `user.name`, and aggregates the individual alert risk scores (`kibana.alert.risk_score`) such that alerts with higher risk scores contribute more than alerts with lower risk scores. The resulting aggregated risk score is assigned to the **Alerts** category in the entity's <<host-risk-summary, risk summary>>.
The risk scoring engine runs hourly to aggregate `Open` and `Acknowledged` alerts from the last 30 days. For each entity, the engine processes up to 10,000 alerts. It groups alerts by `host.name` or `user.name`, and aggregates the individual alert risk scores (`kibana.alert.risk_score`) such that alerts with higher risk scores contribute more than alerts with lower risk scores. The resulting aggregated risk score is assigned to the **Alerts** category in the entity's <<host-risk-summary, risk summary>>.

The engine then verifies the entity's <<asset-criticality, asset criticality level>>. If there is no asset criticality assigned, the entity risk score remains equal to the aggregated score from the **Alerts** category. If a criticality level is assigned, the engine updates the risk score based on the default risk weight for each criticality level:
