A computer security monitoring method and system includes receiving input data, wherein the input data includes user account data associated with a user's security-related interaction with a particular network, security-related local network data associated with the particular network, and security-related external network data regarding security threats at one or more independent, external networks. The input data is analyzed to generate at least one composite security status score, wherein the analyzing includes an analysis of the user account data based on previously stored data associated with the user account, and an analysis of the security-related local and external network data to adjust the composite security status score when the analysis of the security-related local and external network data indicates an increased security threat.
