1. A computer-implementable method for adaptively assessing risk associated with an endpoint, comprising:

  • determining a risk level corresponding to an entity associated with an endpoint;

    selecting a frequency of when to perform an endpoint monitoring interval and a duration of the endpoint monitoring interval;

    collecting user behavior associated with the entity for the duration of the endpoint monitoring interval via the endpoint;

    processing the user behavior to generate a current risk score for the entity, the processing comprising applying a risk-adaptive security policy to the user behavior, the risk-adaptive policy comprising a security policy implemented to be revised to adaptively remediate risk associated with a user behavior;

    comparing the current risk score of the entity to a historical risk score of the entity to determine whether a risk score of a user has changed; and

    changing the risk score of the entity to the current risk score when the risk score of the entity has changed; and

    whereinthe risk adaptive policy is revised to increase the frequency of the endpoint monitoring interval when the current risk score of the entity increases over a plurality of endpoint monitoring intervals, the current risk score increasing being when the current risk score increases by less than 20% over the historical risk score; and

    ,the risk adaptive policy is revised to increase the frequency of the endpoint monitoring interval and the duration of the endpoint monitoring interval when the current risk score of the entity increases over a plurality of endpoint monitoring intervals, the current risk score increasing being when the current risk score increases by more than 20% over the historical risk score.
