1. A method for dynamically scoring a cybersecurity risk of a portfolio of companies, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, attribute data indicative of cybersecurity risks of companies;
identifying, by the one or more processors and based on the attribute data, one or more attributes that are common to a company that experienced a cybersecurity risk event during a particular time period and the portfolio of companies;
determining, by the one or more processors, a cybersecurity risk multiplier for the portfolio of companies based on a number of the one or more attributes and degrees of mutuality of the one or more attributes; and
outputting, by the one or more processors, a cybersecurity risk level of the portfolio of companies based on the cybersecurity risk multiplier.
