1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, by a severity system server, a security alert associated with an entity;
determining, by the severity system server, a first severity level associated with the received security alert;
receiving, by the severity system server, data indicative of at least one environmental factor, comprising data relating to at least one factor that influences a severity of a security alert;
in response to a determination that the at least one environmental factor has an influence on a severity of the received security alert and prior to presenting the received security alert to a user associated with the entity, generating, by the severity system server and based at least on the received data, a second severity level associated with the received security alert that is different from the first severity level; and
transmitting the received security alert and associated second severity level to a computing device associated with the user associated with the entity.
