    in response to receiving the data, determining, in the event management device, an alert in connection with an event associated with at least one asset in the network environment;

    filtering, in the event management device, the received data in order to facilitate creation of an input for the risk assessment device, wherein the input comprises information relating to the alert;

    forwarding, from the event management device to the risk assessment device, the input;

    determining, in the risk assessment device, a new score indicative of risk based on the input and an old risk score associated with the alert;

    forwarding, from the risk assessment device to the event management device, the new score indicative of risk;

    receiving, in the event management device, the new score indicative of risk; and
