ABSTRACT:
A determination is made as to whether there is a correlation between a user's security risk profile and a personalized threat profile of an actual or spreading threat. If there is a correlation, a personalized reactive alert is issued in the case of an actual threat. The personalized reactive alert informs the user of specific suspected data that may have been compromised by the threat and the specific non-computer related action that the user should take. Further, if there is a correlation, a personalized proactive alert is issued and/or personalized proactive protective action taken in the case of a spreading threat. The personalized proactive alert informs the user of the spreading threat that the user and/or the user's host computer system is particularly susceptible to. Further, the personalized proactive protective action taken provides automated risk mitigation.
