View information about the Predictive analytics risk factor, which pinpoints potential future threats you can proactively address to strengthen your security posture.
The Predictive analytics risk factor is based on exposures detected on your assets that could potentially
facilitate an attack in the future. The predictive analytics risk factor contributes
to your exposure level. Generated risk events can be viewed and managed in Threat and Exposure Management.
When viewing risk events, click the number in the case column to view current cases
involving the specified risk event. Click the options icon (

ImportantAddressing attack path risk events does not necessarily address the root cause of
the risk. If you only address the attack path risk event without addressing risk events
on the entry and target assets, the attack path risk event may be generated again.
Remediate entry and target risk events first to avoid regenerating the attack path
risk event.

Events indicating exposures that could facilitate potential attack paths from an entry
point to a target asset. Potential attack paths are detected using AI to correlate
Trend Micro threat research, Trend Micro and third-party asset data, and asset criticality
information.
