1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
scanning, by a computing device, a plurality of hosts in a computer network to obtain, during a predetermined time period, risk information of each instance of vulnerability associated with at least one host of the plurality of hosts, wherein the risk information comprises a common vulnerability scoring system (CVSS) score, an exploitability measurement and a measurement parameter of identified link to one or more bad actors associated with the at least one host;
calculating, by the computing device, for the at least one host, a vulnerability risk score (VRS) for each instance of the vulnerability of the at least one host based on the associated risk information;
obtaining, by the computing device, a representative VRS based at least in part on the VRS for each instance of vulnerability of the at least one host; and
facilitating, by the computing device, at least one security action based on the representative VRS.
