An example network security and threat assessment system is configured to determine, based on one or more events that have occurred during execution of one or more applications, a potential security vulnerability of a target computing system, where the one or more events correspond to a node represented in the hierarchical risk model. The system is further configured to identify, based on a mapping of the node represented in the hierarchical risk model to a node represented in a hierarchical game tree model, one or more actions that are associated with the potential security vulnerability and that correspond to the node represented in the hierarchical game tree model, and to output, for display in a graphical user interface, a graphical representation of the potential security vulnerability and the one or more actions associated with the potential security vulnerability.
