1. An integrated computer network security and threat prevention and detection platform, comprising:
a plurality of Application Program Interfaces (APIs), each corresponding to a respective one of a plurality of network security applications that collectively monitor a network comprising a plurality of computing systems, a first network security application of the plurality of network security applications configured to monitor a first network communication layer and a second network security application of the plurality of network security applications configured to monitor a second network communication layer; and
a central processor configured to collect network security data from the plurality of network security applications via the plurality of APIs, the network security data including data from the first network security application and the second network security application,
wherein the central processor is further configured to aggregate and weight the network security data, resulting in weighted aggregated data,
wherein the central processor is further configured to display, via a display in communication with the central processor, the weighted aggregated data within an intregrated dashboard presentation of system activity and threats within the network;
wherein the integrated dashboard presentation includes a threat overview display presenting a timeline view of a type and severity of a plurality of threats found in the network, and a ranking of the severity, criticality, or both severity/criticality of the plurality of threats found in the network, and
wherein the integrated dashboard presentation includes a single indication of an overall risk level in the network, including at the first network communication layer and at the second network communication layer, the overall risk level determined based on the weighted aggregation data.
